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.
Why This Petition Was Denied
The appeal was dismissed as moot because the Beneficiary had a subsequent Form I-140 approved by the Director on March 7, 2024, for the same multinational executive or manager classification. As the requested classification was already granted via a different petition, further pursuit of this specific appeal was unnecessary.

USCIS EB-1C sustained

The appeal was sustained because the Petitioner demonstrated a qualifying relationship with the foreign employer as affiliates within a global accounting and consulting network. The Director had applied an incorrect definition of affiliates, failing to account for firms marketing services under the same internationally recognized name under a worldwide coordinating organization. Evidence showed the Petitioner and the Canadian entity met the specific regulatory criteria for such multinational affiliations.

USCIS EB-1C dismissed
Washington 2024-10-01
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner did not establish that the Beneficiary would primarily perform executive duties, lacking sufficient evidence of subordinates to handle non-executive tasks. The organizational structure and staffing levels were inconsistent and inadequate to support an executive role. Furthermore, the qualifying relationship between the U.S. and foreign entities was not proven due to a defective stock certificate and conflicting ownership information on tax returns. The Petitioner's argument for a 'functional manager' role was also rejected as an improper change to the petition's basis and lacked supporting evidence.

USCIS EB-1C rfe dismissed
U.S. 2025-02-05
The motion to reopen was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish that the Beneficiary would direct the management of the U.S. organization or a major component/function thereof, a key requirement for executive capacity under EB-1C. The Petitioner did not provide sufficient information about subordinate staff to demonstrate a management structure warranting executive supervision, and evidence like organizational charts, employee numbers, and payroll records contained material inconsistencies and lacked credibility. Although a qualifying relationship was established, it did not alter the outcome due to the unresolved executive capacity issue.

The motion to reopen was dismissed because the Petitioner did not state new facts supported by documentary evidence, as required by 8 C.F.R. § 103.5(a)(2). The Petitioner merely repeated prior assertions and failed to address the AAO's reason for dismissing the first motion, which was the lack of required initial evidence for several EB-1C criteria.
