The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship with the beneficiary's foreign employer. The record contained significant inconsistencies regarding the ownership of the U.S. entity; the petitioner claimed 50% ownership by the foreign entity, while its tax forms showed 51% ownership by an unidentified party. The petitioner also failed to provide evidence that the foreign entity had paid for its shares, which is a critical element in proving ownership.
