L-1A Dismissed — Child Development Services (2007): 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. company and the foreign employer. The director concluded that the two companies have different ownership structures and therefore do not qualify as a parent, subsidiary, or affiliate under the regulations, a conclusion the AAO upheld.
