dismissed EB-1C Case: Footwear
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship with the foreign employer. The petitioner claimed to be a branch office of the Indian entity, but its U.S. tax returns listed an individual as the 100% owner. This inconsistency regarding ownership and control undermined the claim that it was the same employer, an affiliate, or a subsidiary.
