L-1A Dismissed — Online Marketing: did not meet the one-year foreign employment requirement
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the one-year foreign employment requirement. Due to the beneficiary's continuous presence in the U.S. since September 2005, it was factually impossible for her to have been employed abroad for one full year in the three years preceding the February 2008 petition filing. The director also found that the petitioner did not establish the beneficiary's past and proposed roles were primarily managerial or executive.
