Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner provided sufficient evidence to demonstrate its U.S. subsidiary is actively doing business by providing services to its foreign parent and U.S. clients. Furthermore, the petitioner established that the beneficiary would be employed in a qualifying executive capacity, as his subordinates relieve him from performing non-qualifying operational tasks, allowing him to focus on broad goals and policies.
