Decision Summary
The director denied the petition because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S. and foreign entities, noting that a franchise business model precludes the requisite ownership and control. Additionally, the director found that the petitioner did not establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity. The AAO agreed with the director's findings and dismissed the appeal.
