Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner successfully argued that its statement in an RFE response, which suggested the U.S. branch was not a legal entity, was a clerical error. Upon de novo review, the AAO found that the evidence of record, including tax returns and lease agreements, was sufficient to establish the existence of a U.S. branch office and the required qualifying relationship with the foreign employer.
