dismissed EB-1C Case: Business Management
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S. and foreign entities. Although the U.S. and foreign entities shared two common owners, the petitioner did not establish that this group of individuals legally controlled both entities through mechanisms like voting agreements. The AAO also noted a secondary issue that the petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence that it had been doing business for at least one year.
Criteria Discussed
Qualifying Relationship (Affiliate/Subsidiary) Doing Business For At Least One Year
