Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S. petitioner and the foreign entity. The director noted the U.S. entity was owned equally by two companies, and the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the foreign entity had control, which is necessary to establish a subsidiary relationship under the regulations.
