Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found the Director's interpretation of the regulations regarding the qualifying period of employment to be overly restrictive. The AAO held that the beneficiary's initial entry in B-1 status before changing to L-1A status did not break the continuity of employment with the multinational organization, and the provision allowing the qualifying period to be the three years preceding entry as a nonimmigrant was still applicable.
