Decision Summary
The initial petition was denied because the Director found the record did not establish that the Beneficiary was employed abroad in a managerial or executive capacity. The appeal was sustained because the petitioner provided sufficient evidence, including detailed duty descriptions and performance reviews, to demonstrate that the Beneficiary primarily acts as a 'function manager,' exercising discretion over the day-to-day operations of his department and delegating non-qualifying tasks to subordinates.
