Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO found the Director's interpretation of the qualifying period for foreign employment to be overly restrictive. The AAO ruled that the beneficiary's continuous employment with the multinational organization since 2010, including periods in the U.S. on L-1A status, did not interrupt or reset the qualifying year of foreign employment he had already accrued before his initial entry.
