Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner established that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily executive capacity. The record demonstrated that the beneficiary would direct an essential function—the company's international sales operations—while contracted companies and foreign personnel would handle routine day-to-day duties, allowing the beneficiary to focus on higher-level tasks related to U.S. expansion.
