All Cases

The Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) found that the Director's conclusions regarding the owner's citizenship and the staffing discrepancy were not fully supported by the evidence, as the owner is a U.S. citizen and contract employees should be considered. However, the AAO identified new discrepancies in the Petitioner's share ownership history, requiring further clarification. The matter is remanded for a new decision on both the qualifying relationship and the merits of the executive capacity claim.
