EB-1C Dismissed — Leather Goods (2011): did not establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove a qualifying relationship between the U.S. entity and the foreign employer. The evidence submitted was conflicting and insufficient to establish common ownership and control, particularly regarding whether the foreign entity was a sole proprietorship or a partnership. The AAO determined that unsubstantiated statements were not enough to meet the petitioner's burden of proof.
