L-1A Dismissed — Travel Agency (2005): did not establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a qualifying relationship between the U.S. and foreign entities existed at the time the petition was filed. The evidence showed that the foreign entity acquired its ownership shares in the U.S. entity nearly four months after the filing date. Eligibility must be established at the time of filing, and a later acquisition of shares does not cure this deficiency.
