EB-1C Dismissed โ Food Service (2014): did not establish a qualifying relationship with the
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship with the foreign entity. The director noted significant discrepancies in the ownership documentation; specifically, the petitioner's U.S. tax returns initially listed the beneficiary as the sole owner, contradicting the claim that it was owned by the same three individuals as the foreign company. The petitioner's attempt to correct this by submitting amended returns and blaming an accountant did not resolve the inconsistencies to the AAO's satisfaction.
