dismissed EB-1C Case: Ice Cream Manufacturing
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship with the beneficiary's foreign employer. The AAO found significant inconsistencies in the evidence regarding the ownership structure of the U.S. company; membership certificates indicated five members and a 51% ownership for the beneficiary, while a tax return showed four members and a 56.67% ownership. The petitioner failed to reconcile this discrepancy, thereby failing to prove the required affiliate relationship.
