EB-1C Dismissed — Management (2012): did not establish the beneficiary was employed abroad for
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was employed abroad for the requisite one-year period. The beneficiary had only worked for the foreign entity for nine months before entering the U.S., and counsel's claims of subsequent work abroad were unsubstantiated by documentary evidence. The AAO found these unsupported assertions did not satisfy the petitioner's burden of proof.
