L-1A Dismissed — International Trade (2005): 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 due to conflicting ownership documents and a lack of evidence of transactions. The petitioner also failed to demonstrate that the foreign entity continued to be doing business, a requirement for the L-1 classification. These failures to provide requested evidence were grounds for denial.
