Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish a qualifying relationship with the beneficiary's foreign employer. The director noted a significant inconsistency between the company's tax returns, which indicated 500 shares of common stock, and the submitted stock certificate, which reflected that the foreign entity only owned six shares. This discrepancy undermined the claim that the petitioner was a subsidiary of the foreign entity.
