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 abroad. The director determined that a 45-day visit to the United States on a B-2 visa during the qualifying period could not be counted toward the employment-abroad requirement, leaving the beneficiary approximately 20 days short of the one-year minimum.
Criteria Discussed
