dismissed L-1A Case: Retail
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S. and foreign entities, and that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The AAO found the claim of a branch office invalid because the U.S. entity was a separate corporation, and the evidence submitted was insufficient to prove a subsidiary relationship based on ownership and control.
