dismissed L-1A Case: Business
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S. and foreign entities. Specifically, the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to prove that the foreign organization in Colombia was actively 'doing business,' submitting only a certificate of existence. Furthermore, the petitioner failed to submit probative documentary evidence demonstrating the required ownership and control between the two companies.
