Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the Director improperly analyzed the beneficiary's role as a 'function manager.' The AAO found that the Director incorrectly focused on a personnel management analysis instead of the beneficiary's senior-level responsibility for managing the essential function of sales, and also misjudged the support staff available to relieve the beneficiary from performing primarily non-managerial tasks.
