dismissed L-1A Case: Hotel Management
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship, as the director concluded that control of the U.S. entity had been ceded to a third party, Best Western International, Inc. The petition was also denied on the grounds that the petitioner did not establish it had been 'doing business' in the U.S. for the required one-year period for a new office extension.
