L-1A Dismissed — E-Commerce (2018): did not establish the beneficiary completed the required
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the beneficiary completed the required one continuous year of employment abroad with a qualifying organization. The evidence was contradictory, with the claimed employment start date preceding the foreign company's actual establishment date, and an overseas investigation found the foreign office was only a virtual address whose manager could not corroborate the beneficiary's employment.
