EB-1C Dismissed — Business Management (2009): did not establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S. company and the beneficiary's foreign employer. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the evidence did not show that the two entities were owned and controlled by the same individual or group of individuals, as required. Specifically, documents indicated different majority shareholders for the U.S. and foreign entities, and evidence submitted on appeal did not resolve this discrepancy.
