L-1A Dismissed — Car Rental (2005): the petitioner failed to overcome the director's finding
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to overcome the director's finding that it did not establish a qualifying relationship with the beneficiary's foreign employer. The central issue was whether the U.S. entity was a subsidiary of the foreign entity, a core requirement for the L-1A visa classification, and the evidence provided was deemed insufficient.
