L-1A Dismissed โ Accounting Software (2023): did not establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S. company and the beneficiary's foreign employer. The evidence of ownership for the foreign entity was deficient and inconsistent, failing to establish that the two entities were owned and controlled by the same individual or entity. The petitioner's acknowledgement that the ownership structure would need to be changed to meet the requirements confirmed that eligibility was not established at the time of filing.
