Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a continuing qualifying relationship with the beneficiary's former foreign employer at the time of filing. The director concluded, and the AAO agreed, that the foreign entity, a joint venture which had closed its operations two years after the beneficiary's transfer, no longer existed in a qualifying capacity with the U.S. petitioner.
