dismissed L-1A Case: Dentistry
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the foreign entity was a 'qualifying organization.' Specifically, the petitioner did not submit sufficient evidence to establish that the foreign entity was 'doing business' through the regular, systematic, and continuous provision of goods or services. As a secondary issue, because the petitioner failed to establish the foreign employer was a qualifying organization, it also failed to prove the beneficiary's required one continuous year of employment abroad.
