Decision Summary
The director's decision was withdrawn because the AAO determined that the petitioner and the foreign entity were qualifying 'affiliates,' as both were majority-owned and controlled by the same individual. However, the case was remanded because the record lacked sufficient evidence to establish that the beneficiary would be considered an 'employee' of the U.S. operation under the common-law definition.
