dismissed EB-1C Case: Ceramics Wholesale
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish several key eligibility requirements. The director initially denied the petition on four grounds, and while the AAO withdrew the finding that the petitioner had not been doing business for one year, it upheld the other grounds. The petitioner failed to sufficiently prove that the beneficiary was employed abroad in a qualifying managerial or executive capacity, that the proposed U.S. role would be primarily managerial or executive, and that the company had the ability to pay the proffered wage.
