dismissed EB-1C Case: Architecture/Design
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying corporate relationship between the U.S. petitioner and the foreign employer. The petitioner argued that a contractual association between the two entities constituted a qualifying relationship, but this does not meet the regulatory requirements which necessitate common ownership and/or control to establish an affiliate or subsidiary relationship.
