dismissed L-1B Case: Folk Art Import
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship with the beneficiary's foreign employer. The evidence submitted did not demonstrate that the foreign entity had any ownership or control over the U.S. petitioner at the time of filing. A proposed company agreement to establish ownership was unexecuted, and other evidence suggested the U.S. company was wholly owned by a different individual.
