remanded L-1A Case: Oil And Gas Engineering
Decision Summary
The Director's decision was withdrawn and the case was remanded because the Director applied the incorrect legal standard. The denial was based on general L-1A regulations, but the petition was an extension of a 'new office' approval, which is governed by different, specific regulatory provisions that the Director failed to cite or apply.
