Contracts and work records may explain who performs operational tasks, but do not present providers as employees or invent a reporting relationship. Corporate documents should prove the parent, branch, subsidiary, or affiliate relationship and that the foreign side conducts active business; unless the US operation qualifies as a new office, they should also prove that the US side conducts active business.
