Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the beneficiary was employed by a qualifying organization abroad. The petitioner claimed its Canadian operations constituted a "branch," but provided no evidence of a legal entity, business license, or physical presence in Canada. The evidence, including a letter from a Canadian attorney, indicated the workers were independent contractors, not employees of a branch as required for the L-1B classification.
