L-1A Dismissed — Fast Food Restaurant (2005): the director denied the petition because the evidence did

Decision Summary

The director denied the petition because the evidence did not establish a qualifying relationship between the foreign entity and the specific franchise where the beneficiary would work. The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove sufficient ownership and control over the franchise location, particularly as franchise agreements can cede significant control to the franchisor, thus failing to meet the regulatory requirements for a qualifying organization.
