Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary had a significant break in employment with the petitioner's multinational organization. After initially entering the U.S. to work for the petitioner, the beneficiary left and worked for an unrelated U.S. employer for several years before rejoining. The AAO concluded this interruption broke the required continuity of employment, making the beneficiary ineligible as the qualifying one-year of foreign employment did not occur within the three years preceding his most recent entry to work for the petitioner.
