dismissed EB-1C Case: Apparel Wholesale
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish several key requirements. The director identified four grounds for denial, including failure to prove a qualifying relationship between the U.S. and foreign entities, that the beneficiary served in a qualifying capacity abroad, that the proposed U.S. position is qualifying, and the petitioner's ability to pay the proffered wage. The AAO found the evidence submitted on appeal insufficient to overcome these deficiencies, particularly regarding the ownership and control required to prove a qualifying relationship.
