EB-1C Dismissed — Water Purification (2006): did not establish a qualifying relationship existed with

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that a qualifying relationship existed with the beneficiary's foreign employer at the time the petition was filed. The beneficiary's original foreign employer had merged and subsequently dissolved, and the beneficiary had sold all his shares in the company in 1993, severing the affiliate relationship. An attempt to claim a relationship with a different foreign entity was rejected as the beneficiary was never an employee of that entity.
