Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying corporate relationship (e.g., parent, subsidiary, or affiliate) with the beneficiary's previous foreign employer. The petitioner incorrectly argued that AC21 portability provisions allowed for a change of employer, but the AAO affirmed that the petitioner must first be a qualifying organization, which requires a direct corporate link to the foreign entity.
