Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the Director had not adequately considered the evidence. The record showed that both the U.S. and foreign entities were sufficiently staffed with managers and professionals, which would allow the Beneficiary to work in a primarily executive capacity. The AAO also noted that the Director had incorrectly applied the statutory definition of managerial capacity.
