dismissed L-1A Case: Food Service
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S. and foreign entities. The evidence submitted on appeal, describing a complex family ownership structure, did not clearly demonstrate the required ownership and control to qualify as a parent, subsidiary, or affiliate. Furthermore, documents intended to prove the foreign entity was still doing business were not submitted with certified translations and were therefore not considered.
