L-1A Dismissed — Construction: 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. entity and the foreign employer. The director denied the petition due to a lack of evidence for both the qualifying relationship and the beneficiary's managerial capacity. Despite new evidence submitted on appeal, the petitioner provided contradictory information, claiming the U.S. entity was a branch, a subsidiary, and also providing a stock certificate identifying the beneficiary as an owner, which failed to resolve the deficiencies.
