Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary was employed abroad for at least one continuous year in the three years preceding the petition's filing. The evidence provided was for a period after the filing date, and USCIS records indicated the beneficiary was in the United States for a significant portion of the qualifying period. Additionally, the AAO found that the petitioner did not establish the required qualifying relationship between the U.S. company and the foreign employer.
