L-1A Dismissed — Hazardous Materials Response (2006): did not establish the beneficiary's proposed U.S
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's proposed U.S. position or his prior foreign position qualified as primarily managerial. The AAO found that the described duties were more aligned with those of a first-line supervisor directly overseeing operational tasks, rather than a manager exercising broad discretion over a function or managing other professional or supervisory staff.
Criteria Discussed
Employment In A Primarily Managerial Capacity (U.S. Position) Employment In A Primarily Managerial Capacity (Foreign Position)
