Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide an employment contract that met regulatory requirements. While the AAO agreed with counsel that the director erred on when the five-year service period commences for a former J-1 physician, it ultimately found the submitted contract itself was deficient and did not meet the petitioner's evidentiary burden.
