No. Tickets show travel expenditure, not regular, systematic and continuous business activity. The organization’s genuine operations need evidence.
Distinguish operating resources from travel costs
Explain what the foreign business actually does and the resources supporting the U.S. role. Keep immigration preparation expenses separate. A travel budget cannot create a qualifying corporate relationship or ongoing business.
The costs that surprise small family groups are the preparation costs rather than the fees: obtaining current share registers and beneficial ownership documents, preparing financial statements that may not exist in the form required, and assembling several years of payroll history. The larger and less visible costs are corporate: incorporating the U.S. entity, issuing and recording shares, opening banking, securing premises, and producing financial statements or an accountant's letter showing that both companies are actively trading. A recently completed acquisition needs its corporate story assembled by somebody who understands what an adjudicator is testing: purchase documents, share registers, registry extracts and proof that the American terminal is doing business.
