Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Beneficiary failed to meet the requirement of having at least one continuous year of qualifying employment abroad within the three years preceding the petition's filing. The Beneficiary's long presence in the United States in H-4 status, a status unrelated to a qualifying employer, was disqualifying and could not be counted towards the employment requirement.
Criteria Discussed
Employment Abroad For One Year Qualifying Relationship New Office Requirements Managerial Or Executive Capacity
