dismissed L-1A Case: Direct Sales
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S. company and the foreign entity as required. The director originally denied the petition due to insufficient evidence of this relationship and a lack of proof of physical premises, and the AAO upheld the decision based on the failure to prove the corporate affiliation.
