L-1A Dismissed — Television Advertising (2009): 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 determined the evidence did not prove the existence or ongoing business operations of the foreign affiliate, which in turn meant the petitioner could not establish the beneficiary's qualifying one year of employment abroad.
