dismissed L-1A Case: Management Consulting
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S. and foreign entities. Although the petitioner claimed the foreign entity owned 51% of the U.S. company, it did not provide evidence that consideration was actually paid for the stock, such as wire transfers or cancelled checks, despite a specific request for such evidence. Stock certificates alone were deemed insufficient to prove ownership and control.
