No. The actual ownership and control must support the relevant relationship. A chart can explain the evidence but does not replace it.
Distinguish partners from affiliates
Commercial cooperation alone should not be labelled a qualifying corporate relationship.
If the purchase was structured through a holding company, a family trust or the owner personally, the chain has to be traced entity by entity until common ownership and control appear at the top. L-1A preparation should identify the applicant’s actual authority and primary responsibilities rather than equate every committee seat with executive control or assume shared decision-making defeats managerial capacity. If the parent holds the subsidiary through a holding corporation or if two operating companies are affiliates because the same individuals own both in the same proportions, include the intermediate documents and a short ownership diagram. Separately prove a parent, branch, subsidiary, or affiliate relationship, continuing foreign business and either active U.S. business or, for a new office, the ability to commence it, and one continuous qualifying year abroad within the previous three. Within the relevant preceding three-year period, the transferee generally needs one continuous year of full-time work physically abroad for a qualifying organization in a managerial, executive, or specialized-knowledge capacity; the American position must be primarily managerial or executive.
