Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the U.S. petitioner, a sole proprietorship, is not considered a separate legal entity from its owner, the beneficiary. Consequently, the petitioner failed to establish a 'qualifying relationship' with the foreign entity, as a sole proprietorship cannot act as a U.S. employer for its owner in an intracompany transferee context.
