Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a valid employer-employee relationship with the beneficiary. The Director initially denied the petition for this reason, and the AAO affirmed this finding after concluding the petitioner did not demonstrate the requisite ability to hire, pay, fire, supervise, or otherwise control the beneficiary's work.
