L-1A Dismissed — Restaurant (2006): 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 at the time of filing. The director's initial denial reason was found to be incorrect, but the AAO determined there was no evidence that the petitioner had actually purchased or was operating the U.S. restaurant when the petition was filed, a key requirement to be considered a 'qualifying organization'.
