L-1A Dismissed — Oil And Gas Industry (2020): did not establish the beneficiary's proposed U.S
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary's proposed U.S. employment would be in a qualifying managerial capacity. Specifically, the record did not establish the beneficiary's authority to hire and fire or recommend personnel actions. Additionally, the petitioner did not show that the beneficiary would 'primarily' supervise and control the work of other employees, a key requirement for a personnel manager.
