remanded EB-1C Case: Movie Production
Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the director improperly denied the petition based on the beneficiary's majority ownership of the petitioning company. The AAO found that the director erred by applying Department of Labor regulations concerning self-employment, clarifying that a corporation is a separate legal entity from its owner and the focus should be on the beneficiary's duties rather than ownership status.
Criteria Discussed
