Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, finding that the foreign entity, a franchise, did not possess sufficient operational control to establish a qualifying relationship with the U.S. entity. The AAO withdrew this decision and remanded the case, indicating that the director's analysis of ownership and control within the context of a franchise agreement was potentially flawed and required further consideration.
