sustained EB-1C Case: Sporting Equipment
Decision Summary
The director initially denied the petition for failing to prove a qualifying relationship between the U.S. petitioner and the foreign employer, specifically citing a lack of documentation for a stock purchase. On appeal, the petitioner provided sufficient contemporaneous evidence, including meeting minutes, stock transfer ledgers, and wire transfer receipts, to document the foreign entity's full ownership. The AAO found this evidence established the qualifying relationship and sustained the appeal.
