EB-1C Dismissed — Wholesale/Retail (2007): did not establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S. entity and the beneficiary's foreign employer. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the evidence submitted to prove ownership of the foreign entity was inconsistent and not legally sufficient, as it consisted of unofficial declarations rather than government-registered documents. The petitioner did not resolve discrepancies regarding the foreign company's name and ownership structure, thus failing to prove the affiliate or subsidiary relationship required by the statute.
