Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S. and foreign entities. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the petitioner did not prove that the two entities were owned and controlled by the same individual. Specifically, after the death of the majority shareholder of the U.S. company, the petitioner failed to provide evidence (such as a will, probate documents, or stockholder agreements) showing that control of her shares had legally transferred to the individual who owned the foreign entity.
