Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner successfully established a qualifying affiliate relationship with the beneficiary's foreign employer. The AAO determined that both the U.S. petitioner and the foreign employer were subsidiaries indirectly owned and controlled by the same parent company, which satisfies the regulatory requirements for an affiliate relationship, thereby overcoming the sole ground for denial.
