dismissed EB-1C Case: Music
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish two key requirements. First, it was not proven that the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity, as the beneficiary's duties involved non-qualifying operational tasks like sound engineering and marketing rather than overseeing staff or managing essential functions. Second, the petitioner failed to establish that a qualifying corporate relationship existed between the U.S. entity and the beneficiary's foreign employer.
