Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary had one continuous year of full-time employment abroad within the three years preceding the petition's filing date. The beneficiary's extended stay in the United States in F-1 (student) status for nearly three years was deemed interruptive of the required foreign employment. This time in the U.S. did not qualify for an exception and could not be counted toward fulfilling the one-year abroad requirement.
