Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the beneficiary had the required one year of qualifying employment abroad. The record contained a significant discrepancy: the beneficiary stated on a prior visa application that she was employed by a government entity during the same period the petitioner claimed she worked for the qualifying foreign company. The petitioner's explanation involving a 'Leave Without Pay Agreement' was not sufficiently supported by credible evidence and failed to resolve the contradiction.
