L-1A Dismissed — Candy Manufacturing (2008): the petitioner failed to overcome the director's grounds

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to overcome the director's grounds for denial. The director found the petitioner did not establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S. and foreign entities, that the beneficiary was employed in a qualifying capacity abroad, or that the new U.S. office would support a managerial position within one year. The decision highlights conflicting and insufficient evidence regarding the corporate relationship, which was described inconsistently as a joint venture and a subsidiary.
