L-1A Dismissed — Retail (2020): did not establish the Beneficiary had one continuous year
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to prove the Beneficiary had one continuous year of qualifying employment abroad in the three years preceding the petition. The record lacked credible evidence of employment or payment from the foreign entity, and it contained inconsistencies, such as the Beneficiary being in the U.S. as a student during the claimed period of foreign employment.
