dismissed L-1A Case: Exporting
Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition for failure to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a managerial capacity and that a qualifying relationship existed. Although a motion to reopen the appeal was granted, the appeal was ultimately dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence to establish a qualifying affiliate or subsidiary relationship between the U.S. petitioner and the foreign entity.
