Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found that the petitioner successfully established an employer-employee relationship with the beneficiary abroad, despite a 'service agreement' that suggested an independent contractor status. The AAO determined that, under the common-law test, factors such as the company's control, provision of office space and tools, and salary structure outweighed the contractual language, thus overcoming the sole basis for the initial denial.
