Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner successfully demonstrated that the beneficiary was employed in a managerial capacity abroad and that the new U.S. office would support such a position. The AAO found that the petitioner's business plan and employment targets were reasonable and that the director failed to consider foreign subordinates who would remain under the beneficiary's authority.
