L-1A Dismissed — Dry Cleaning (2021): did not establish the beneficiary was employed abroad for

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was employed abroad for one continuous year within the three years preceding the petition's filing date. The beneficiary stopped working for the foreign entity on April 18, 2015, and the petition was filed on April 17, 2018, leaving only one day of qualifying employment within the required three-year look-back period. The beneficiary's subsequent time in the U.S. in non-employment-based statuses did not pause or adjust this three-year window.
