The motion to reconsider was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish that the prior decision was based on an incorrect application of law or policy. The Petitioner did not resolve numerous discrepancies regarding the Beneficiary's claimed employment abroad (inconsistent dates, salary, and employer claims on NIV application) and her U.S. position (inability to describe duties during site visit, spouse performing duties, conflicting ownership information, and inconsistent tax returns).

USCIS EB-1C rfe remanded
2025-02-26
The AAO remanded the case because the Director disregarded the Petitioner's descriptions of job duties, misinterpreted evidence regarding the Beneficiary's U.S. start date (September 2023 vs. 2019), and incorrectly concluded the Beneficiary was employed as CFO in the U.S. based on a legal formality. The AAO also noted the Director should have focused on staffing at the time of filing and reconsidered the executive nature of the Beneficiary's work, asking for more information on non-supervised employees.

USCIS EB-1C rfe remanded
Texas 2024-08-08
The Director's decision was withdrawn and the matter remanded because it failed to adequately state specific reasons for denial, did not fully analyze submitted evidence, and overlooked the Petitioner's claim of a parent-subsidiary relationship. The AAO also noted significant inconsistencies in the ownership documentation provided for both the U.S. and foreign entities, which were not addressed in the initial RFE or decision.

USCIS EB-1C rfe dismissed
Nebraska 2024-07-31
The Petitioner failed to resolve inconsistencies regarding the Beneficiary's foreign employment tenure and actual employer. The evidence did not establish that the Beneficiary would be employed in an executive capacity in the U.S., as she could not describe her daily tasks and the shrinking organizational structure suggested she would be involved in day-to-day operations. The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner did not meet the burden of proof for executive capacity abroad or in the U.S.
