dismissed L-1A Case: Import/Sales
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S. and foreign entities. The director found that the beneficiary's 40% interest in the foreign partnership and 60% interest in the U.S. company did not constitute the necessary ownership and control required by regulation to be considered a parent, branch, affiliate, or subsidiary.
