Decision Summary

The Director initially denied the petition, finding the record did not establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a managerial or executive capacity. The appeal was sustained because upon review, the AAO found sufficient evidence that the beneficiary would more likely than not be employed in a managerial role, managing an essential function at a senior level and exercising discretion over daily operations.
