Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition, concluding that the beneficiary would not be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity in the United States, as it seemed they would only attend meetings and training. The petitioner successfully argued on appeal that the beneficiary would continue to perform their current managerial duties for the foreign entity while in the United States, directing and controlling the organization's European operations from the U.S. The AAO agreed with this assessment and sustained the appeal.
