dismissed EB-1C Case: Sailing
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish two key requirements. First, it did not prove the beneficiary would be employed in a primarily managerial or executive capacity, as the role of sailing fleet director involved performing day-to-day operational tasks, and the beneficiary was the sole employee. Second, the petitioner failed to establish that a qualifying relationship existed between the U.S. and foreign entities.
