L-1A Dismissed — International Trade (2006): 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. and foreign entities. The petitioner claimed the U.S. entity was a branch, but the evidence showed they were separate legal entities, and a sales agreement between them explicitly stated they were independent contractors, undermining the claim of a qualifying intracompany relationship.
