Not by itself. Assess the actual authority and primarily managerial or executive duties within the organization rather than requiring unlimited autonomy.
Describe what the manager decides
A Killarney applicant should explain genuine discretion, the function or organization managed and higher-level oversight. Do not hide meaningful restrictions, but do not treat every approval requirement as proof that the applicant only performs routine work.
Only if the preceding eight months of senior-analyst work involved specialized knowledge of the firm’s methods, so that a continuous qualifying year exists; otherwise the petition should wait until twelve months as a manager have accrued. Confirm payroll, duties, and the parent, branch, subsidiary, or affiliate link; for a non-new office, the qualifying organization must be doing business as an employer in the United States and at least one other country, while a new office must meet the separate commencement requirements. Break the proposed week into hours and sort them: hiring and firing decisions, budget authority, setting production policy, and directing supervisors go on one side; running the press, fixing tooling, and covering shifts go on the other. Confirm a parent, branch, subsidiary, or affiliate relationship; document one continuous year of full-time employment physically abroad within the relevant preceding three-year period; and show that the proposed American job is managerial or executive.
