Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because, upon de novo review, the AAO found that the petitioner had established the new office would more likely than not support the beneficiary in a managerial capacity within one year. The AAO determined the petitioner provided a sufficiently detailed and credible description of the beneficiary's proposed managerial duties, evidence of planned subordinate staff, and that support from the foreign parent company would allow the beneficiary to focus on primarily managerial tasks.
