L-1A Remanded — Food Manufacturing (2006): the director denied the petition, concluding the petitioner

Decision Summary

The director denied the petition, concluding the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship as the common parent company owned less than a majority of the U.S. and foreign entities and did not demonstrate de facto control. The AAO withdrew this decision and remanded the case for further action, finding that the petitioner's argument—that an affiliate relationship can exist through control even with minority ownership—warranted reconsideration.
