EB-1C Dismissed — Information Technology (2023): did not establish a qualifying affiliate relationship

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying affiliate relationship between the U.S. and foreign entities. The AAO found that the ownership structure did not meet the regulatory definition of an affiliate, as the entities were not controlled by the same parent or individual, nor by the same group of individuals holding approximately the same proportion of ownership in each company.
