Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying corporate relationship between the U.S. entity and the foreign employer. The director found the initial evidence insufficient, and on appeal, the petitioner's submission of a single stock certificate was also deemed inadequate without supporting documentation like stock ledgers, bylaws, and shareholder meeting minutes to prove ownership and control.
Criteria Discussed
