dismissed EB-1C Case: Business Technology Consulting
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying affiliate relationship between the U.S. and foreign entities. The director and the AAO found that the two companies were not owned and controlled by the same group of individuals, with each individual owning approximately the same share or proportion of each entity, as required by regulation. The argument that two brothers held majority control was insufficient to meet the definition of an affiliate.
