dismissed L-1B Case: Software Development
Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition based on a misreading of the petitioner's operating agreement regarding ownership. Although the AAO agreed with the petitioner on that point, it dismissed the appeal because the petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the claimed parent company actually owns the foreign Indian affiliate, thus failing to establish the required qualifying relationship.
