dismissed EB-1C Case: Precious Metal Reclamation
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed due to conflicting evidence about the U.S. company's ownership, which undermined the claim of a qualifying affiliate relationship. The petitioner's tax filings as an S Corporation, which cannot have non-resident alien shareholders, contradicted the claim that the beneficiary, a non-resident alien, owned the company. Furthermore, the petitioner failed to provide an adequate description of the beneficiary's proposed duties to prove the position was managerial or executive.
