L-1A Dismissed โ Convenience Store (2024): did not establish the beneficiary was employed abroad for
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the beneficiary was employed abroad for one continuous year in the three years preceding the petition filing. Evidence, including USCIS records and documents signed by the beneficiary, indicated he had been continuously present in the United States since 2008, contradicting the petitioner's claims. The AAO also noted multiple unresolved material inconsistencies in the petitioner's evidence, undermining its overall credibility.
