Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship with the beneficiary's foreign employer. The Director found, and the AAO agreed, that despite the petitioner's claim of being a subsidiary, its governing documents and statements to the IRS indicated it was an independent legal entity, failing to prove the foreign entity exercised the necessary control.
