EB-1C Dismissed — Real Estate Asset Management (2019): did not establish a qualifying affiliate relationship

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying affiliate relationship between the U.S. company and the foreign employer. The evidence did not sufficiently prove that the beneficiary had validly acquired majority ownership and control of the foreign entity. Additionally, the AAO found that the petitioner did not demonstrate that the beneficiary's proposed U.S. position would be primarily executive in nature, as the role involved performing day-to-day operational tasks.
