dismissed EB-1C Case: Dry Cleaning
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish three key requirements for the visa category. The director initially denied the petition for failing to prove that the beneficiary's proposed U.S. role and prior foreign role were primarily managerial or executive, and for not establishing a qualifying corporate relationship. The AAO agreed with the director's findings, particularly focusing on the petitioner's failure to demonstrate that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity rather than performing day-to-day operational duties.
