L-1A Dismissed — Business (2017): consular investigations at two separate claimed addresses

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because consular investigations at two separate claimed addresses for the foreign entity in Russia found no evidence of its operations. The petitioner's attempts to explain the discrepancies with new leases and photographs were found to be inconsistent and did not overcome the findings that the foreign company was not actively doing business, thus failing to establish a qualifying relationship or the beneficiary's required employment abroad.
