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. petitioner and the foreign entity. The director initially denied the case because the evidence did not show the foreign entity was a majority shareholder or had controlling authority. The evidence on record, including a stock transfer ledger, indicated the foreign entity owned only 300,000 out of one million total shares, which is insufficient to establish the required control for a subsidiary or affiliate relationship.
