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. The record showed the beneficiary was primarily in the United States in H-1B status during the qualifying period, with only two to three months spent outside the U.S., which did not satisfy the continuous employment abroad requirement.
