EB-1C Dismissed — Retail (2008): did not establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S. company and the foreign employer. There was a critical discrepancy where a stock certificate showed ownership by the foreign entity, while U.S. tax returns from 2000 to 2005 listed the beneficiary as the 100% owner. The petitioner did not provide credible evidence to resolve this inconsistency.
