EB-1C Dismissed — Business Operations (2010): 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. entity and the beneficiary's foreign employer. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the U.S. entity (wholly owned by the beneficiary) and the foreign entity (in which the beneficiary was only a minority shareholder) did not share the common ownership and control required to be considered affiliates or subsidiaries.
