Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship with the beneficiary's foreign employer. The documentation regarding the ownership of the foreign entity contained contradictions and was insufficient to prove the U.S. and foreign companies were affiliates. Although the AAO withdrew the Director's adverse findings on the physical premises and the 'new office' analysis, the failure to prove the qualifying relationship was a sufficient basis for dismissal.
