dismissed L-1B Case: Law
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship with the beneficiary's foreign employer. The AAO affirmed the director's denial, concluding that the foreign employer's minority ownership stake within a Swiss verein structure did not grant it the necessary de jure or de facto control over the U.S. entity to form a parent-subsidiary relationship.
