L-1A Dismissed — Motion Picture (2008): 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. entity and the foreign company. The AAO found inconsistencies in the petitioner's funding, which originated from third parties rather than the claimed foreign affiliate, calling into question the ownership and control structure. The petitioner did not submit sufficient objective evidence to resolve these inconsistencies.
