sustained EB-1C Case: Financing Services
Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition due to a failure to establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S. petitioner and the foreign employer, citing conflicting ownership evidence. The AAO sustained the appeal, finding that despite some ambiguity, the record sufficiently demonstrated that one individual maintained majority ownership and control of both entities at all times, thus proving an affiliate relationship existed.
