EB-1C Remanded — Software Manufacturing (2017): the Director erred by requiring the beneficiary's one year
Decision Summary
The Director erred by requiring the beneficiary's one year of foreign employment to be continuous or uninterrupted, a requirement not supported by statute. However, the case was remanded because the evidence on record, specifically the travel history, was insufficient to calculate the aggregate number of days the beneficiary worked abroad to meet the one-year requirement.
Criteria Discussed
One Year Of Employment Abroad In The Preceding Three Years Continuity Of Foreign Employment
