L-1A Dismissed — Software: 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 petition, as changes to ownership were made after the denial. Additionally, the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence that the foreign entity was actively doing business or that it had secured sufficient physical premises for the new U.S. office, having only a virtual office lease.
