remanded EB-1C Case: Luxury Watches
Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the AAO withdrew the director's basis for denial, which was the lack of an employer-employee relationship. However, the AAO found the record insufficient on other grounds, namely whether the beneficiary would be employed in a true managerial or executive capacity and whether a qualifying relationship exists between the U.S. and foreign entities. The case was sent back for further review of these new issues, particularly due to inconsistencies in the petitioner's staffing information.
