EB-1C Dismissed — Retail (2011): 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. petitioner and the foreign employer. The director found inconsistencies in the documentation regarding ownership and control, which constituted 'good and sufficient cause' to revoke the previously approved petition. The AAO also rejected the petitioner's procedural argument that the revocation was barred because the beneficiary was already in the United States.
