L-1A Dismissed — Bakery And Grocery (2006): 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. entity and the foreign employer. The director initially denied the petition on the basis that the foreign entity was an independently owned franchise and therefore not a qualifying organization. The AAO found the petitioner did not submit sufficient evidence to prove the necessary ownership and control required to establish an affiliate relationship.
