Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the evidentiary burden of proof. Although the AAO agreed that time spent outside the U.S. during an H-1B period can be 'recaptured,' the petitioner submitted voluminous, disorganized evidence without clearly identifying or cross-referencing which documents supported each of the 43 claimed periods of absence.
Criteria Discussed
Maximum Period Of Stay (6-Year Limit) Recapture Of Time Spent Abroad Burden Of Proof For Absences
