Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship with the beneficiary's foreign employer. The petitioner admitted there was no common ownership between the U.S. and foreign entities, and its argument that a 'business relationship' was sufficient was rejected as a misinterpretation of the legal requirements for an affiliate or subsidiary relationship.
