L-1A Dismissed โ It Services (2019): did not establish a qualifying affiliate relationship
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying affiliate relationship between the U.S. and foreign entities. The petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to prove common ownership and control, focusing its arguments on the U.S. entity's ownership while neglecting to document the foreign entity's ownership. Furthermore, the evidence submitted for the U.S. entity was also deemed insufficient to prove the beneficiary's majority ownership.
