L-1A Dismissed — Telecommunications: 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. The director initially denied the case, noting the petitioner had not established that the foreign entity was a majority shareholder or had controlling authority over the U.S. company. The evidence submitted showed the foreign entity owned only 30% of the petitioner's stock, which was insufficient to prove the required control for an affiliate or subsidiary relationship.
