Organisational charts naming real people, a description of her role written in decisions rather than responsibilities, payroll records showing the layer of supervisors beneath her, and board or budget documents recording authority she exercised. Job titles and generic descriptions prove nothing on their own.
Evidence of authority beats a description of it
The weakest L-1A petitions describe a manager; the strongest show one. For Marguerite that means an organisational chart for the Richmond County terminal listing each supervisor by name, position and the headcount under them, and a matching chart for the Maine terminal showing the structure she is being sent to run. Payroll and benefits records confirm the chart is not aspirational.
Beyond structure, an adjudicator wants evidence of the decisions she actually takes: signing authority limits, budgets she set, capital expenditure she approved, hiring and dismissal she carried out, contracts she negotiated with shipping lines. Minutes, approval forms and correspondence carry more weight than a narrative. Because the American entity is newly acquired, the corporate side needs its own file: the purchase agreement, share registers before and after, registry filings and evidence the terminal is trading, together with the letter setting out the offered role in the same functional language.
