Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary failed to meet the requirement of one continuous year of foreign employment within the three years preceding the petition's filing. The beneficiary had been in the United States for over two years in B-2 status at the time of filing, which constituted a disqualifying break in employment. The petitioner's argument that a previously denied petition should be considered the 'initial' petition for calculating eligibility was rejected.
