‍Why structure explanations fail at interviews

Most refusals stem from unclear or inconsistent descriptions. Applicants over-explain history, omit ownership links, or mix entities. Consular officers want a concise corporate structure explanation that proves the qualifying relationship, parent, subsidiary, affiliate, without jargon.

The three-minute framework officers expect

A winning answer follows a simple arc: who owns whom, how control is exercised, and why the relationship qualifies. Start with the ultimate parent, move to the foreign entity, then the U.S. entity. Close by stating the basis of qualifying relationship clarity (majority ownership or common control).

What to include, and exclude

Include ownership percentages, voting control, and where decisions are made. Exclude unnecessary history, minor shareholders, or unrelated entities. This focus supports an efficient organizational hierarchy summary that officers can verify quickly.
