dismissed EB-1C Case: Newspaper Publishing
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a continuing qualifying relationship with the foreign entity. An on-site investigation, and later the petitioner's own admission, confirmed that the foreign branch office ceased operations in 1996, the same year the petition was filed, thereby nullifying the multinational nature of the enterprise required for this visa classification.
