EB-1C Sustained — Telecommunications: the director incorrectly calculated the three-year
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the director incorrectly calculated the three-year look-back period from the beneficiary's most recent L-1A entry. The AAO clarified that the relevant period should be calculated from the beneficiary's initial change of status to L-1A, and within that correct timeframe, the beneficiary did meet the requirement of one year of qualifying foreign employment.
Criteria Discussed
One Year Of Qualifying Employment Abroad Managerial Or Executive Capacity Calculating The Relevant Three-Year Period
