Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the beneficiary had the required one year of qualifying employment abroad. Government records indicated the beneficiary had been continuously present in the U.S. since 2014, and the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence, like passport stamps or a valid Form I-94, to rebut this and prove the beneficiary was physically outside the country during the claimed employment period.
