The Director initially denied the petition for failing to establish a qualifying relationship, specifically common control, between the U.S. and foreign employers. The AAO sustained the appeal because the 50-50 ownership split between the ultimate owner and his spouse established 'negative control,' which is sufficient to demonstrate a qualifying relationship.
