L-1A Dismissed — Import/Export: did not establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S. company and the foreign entity. The director initially denied the case noting that the evidence suggested only 20% common ownership, and on appeal, the petitioner did not provide sufficient documentation, such as complete stock certificates, to prove the required affiliate relationship based on ownership and control.
