The Petitioner claimed Chinese investment restrictions prevented a direct transfer of funds, but provided outdated and irrelevant evidence to support this claim, failing to prove the funds wired by the Beneficiary originated with the foreign employer for the sole purpose of investing in the U.S. entity.
