Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship with the foreign employer. The director and the AAO found that the terms of the Quizno's franchise agreement ceded significant control over the U.S. operation to the franchisor, not the foreign parent company. Because both ownership and control by the foreign entity are required, the petitioner was deemed ineligible.
