Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship between the U.S. and foreign entities. The AAO concluded that neither a parent-subsidiary nor an affiliate relationship existed because the ownership structures did not meet regulatory requirements, as the individual shareholders owned disproportionate shares in each company and could not be legally considered a single controlling group.
