Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director incorrectly denied the petition by focusing on the terms of a franchise agreement instead of the actual ownership and control of the petitioning company. Although the Director's decision was withdrawn, the case was sent back for a new decision because the petitioner had not yet provided sufficient documentary evidence to establish the qualifying relationship between the U.S. and foreign entities.
