EB-1C Dismissed — Diamond And Gemstone Import/Export: 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 foreign entity. The petitioner submitted conflicting evidence regarding ownership — a stock certificate indicated the foreign entity was the owner, while tax returns listed the beneficiary as the sole owner. The petitioner did not resolve this discrepancy when given the opportunity.
Criteria Discussed
