Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary had at least one continuous year of full-time employment with a qualifying entity abroad. The beneficiary had been in the United States in F-2 nonimmigrant status for 25 of the 36 months preceding the filing of the petition, and the AAO determined this time could not be counted toward the foreign employment requirement.
