Decision Summary
The appeal was remanded because the Director incorrectly calculated the three-year qualifying period for the required one year of foreign employment. The AAO determined that for a beneficiary already in the U.S. who changed status, the qualifying period should be the three years preceding the filing of the nonimmigrant L-1 petition, not the immigrant I-140 petition. Under the correct calculation, the beneficiary met the requirement, so the denial was withdrawn and the case sent back for further review on other issues.
