Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish they qualified as a U.S. agent under regulatory definitions. The petitioner did not demonstrate they were the beneficiary's actual employer, an agent for both the beneficiary and employers, or an agent authorized by the employers. The provided agent agreement lacked specific terms of employment, such as wages, and the record lacked required contracts between the beneficiary and the end-employers.
