L-1A Dismissed — Digital Marketing (2018): the petitioner failed to overcome four of the six grounds
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to overcome four of the six grounds for revocation. Specifically, the petitioner did not establish that a qualifying relationship existed with a U.S. employer at the time of filing, as the U.S. entity was not incorporated until several months later. The petitioner's arguments and evidence about future incorporation and existing representative agreements in the U.S. were insufficient to prove the U.S. entity's existence when the petition was filed.
Criteria Discussed
