Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship between the foreign entity and the U.S. franchise where the beneficiary was to render services. The director concluded that the structure of the franchise agreement with Burger King Corporation prevented the petitioner from exercising the required level of ownership and control over the U.S. operation.
