Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary had at least one year of continuous employment with a qualifying entity abroad in the three years preceding the petition filing. The beneficiary's presence in the U.S. as a student for over two years during the relevant period was deemed interruptive. Additionally, the petitioner did not prove that the new U.S. office could support a managerial or executive position within one year.
