Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the beneficiary had at least one continuous year of full-time employment abroad within the three years preceding the petition's filing. An analysis of the beneficiary's travel records showed they were physically present in the United States for 766 days and only outside the U.S. for 329 days during the relevant period, failing to meet the one-year requirement.
