dismissed EB-1C Case: Restaurant Management
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the existence of a qualifying relationship between the U.S. entity and the beneficiary's foreign employer. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the petitioner did not submit sufficient evidence to demonstrate common ownership and control, relying instead on franchise agreements which did not prove the required corporate relationship.
