L-1A Remanded — Automotive Services: the director revoked the previously approved petition,
Decision Summary
The director revoked the previously approved petition, asserting that the petitioner's franchise agreement limited its control to the extent that it was not a qualifying organization. The AAO found that the petitioner successfully rebutted this claim, determining that the franchise agreement did not negate the petitioner's ultimate control over its operations. Consequently, the AAO withdrew the director's revocation and remanded the case for further consideration.
