L-1A Dismissed — Retail (2005): did not establish the beneficiary had at least one

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.
