Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary had been employed abroad full-time for one continuous year. The petitioner provided inconsistent employment dates, failed to submit actual pay records, and did not rebut the Director's finding that USCIS records showed the beneficiary had been physically present in the U.S. since 2008, making it impossible to meet the foreign employment requirement.
