This case is from a USCIS Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) appeal decision. Appeal cases represent a subset of petitions and may not reflect typical outcomes.

Framework Evaluation

0 of 4 criteria met
Executive Capacity (Not Met)

The Petitioner failed to establish that the Beneficiary was employed abroad in an executive capacity or would be employed in an executive capacity in the United States.

Foreign Employment Duration (Not Met)

The Beneficiary's claimed employment abroad took place outside the statutorily required three-year period preceding the petition's filing date, as the Beneficiary was in the United States throughout that period.

Qualifying Relationship (Not Met)

The Petitioner submitted incomplete and inconsistent information about the ownership of the two claimed employing entities, failing to establish a qualifying affiliate or parent-subsidiary relationship.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The motion to reconsider was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to demonstrate that the prior decision was based on an incorrect application of law or policy. The Petitioner did not adequately address the issues of the Beneficiary's foreign and proposed U.S. employment, which were deemed waived. Furthermore, the Petitioner resubmitted previously considered documents and provided conflicting evidence regarding company ownership, failing to resolve the inconsistencies raised in prior decisions.
