Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a 'qualifying relationship' with the beneficiary's foreign employer. The AAO found that the U.S. and foreign entities did not meet the regulatory definition of 'affiliate' because they were not owned and controlled by the same group of individuals holding approximately the same proportion of ownership in each entity.
