dismissed EB-1C Case: International Trade
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship with the foreign entity. The petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to prove that the foreign entity paid for its ownership of the U.S. company, as the wire transfers did not show the foreign entity as the originator of the funds. The AAO affirmed the director's decision, stating that a prior nonimmigrant petition approval is not binding on the current immigrant petition.
