Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner successfully demonstrated a qualifying affiliate relationship with the beneficiary's foreign employer. The director's initial denial was based on an incorrect understanding of the entities' ownership, failing to consider a prior stock sale that placed both the U.S. petitioner and the foreign employer under a common ownership umbrella.
Criteria Discussed
