Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship with the beneficiary's foreign employer. The director determined that while the same four individuals held a majority ownership in both the U.S. and foreign companies, the remaining portions were owned by different individuals, which does not satisfy the regulatory definition of an affiliate relationship.
