sustained EB-1C Case: Fashion Apparel
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner successfully established a qualifying affiliate relationship between the U.S. and foreign entities. The director's denial was based on an inconsistency in tax forms, but the AAO accepted the petitioner's explanation that this was an accountant's error, which was subsequently corrected with amended forms and supported by other evidence like stock certificates.
