dismissed L-1A Case: Industrial Equipment Sales
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S. company and the foreign employer. The director determined that an unrelated British company, not the claimed Indian parent company, furnished the consideration for the petitioner's stock. The petitioner's subsequent claim on appeal that the British company was merely a lender to the foreign entity was found unpersuasive by the AAO.
