Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that it had secured sufficient physical premises to house its new office at the time the petition was filed. The AAO also found that the beneficiary did not meet the one-year foreign employment requirement, as he had been in the U.S. as an F-1 student for over four years and was not physically employed abroad by the qualifying organization in the three years preceding the petition's filing.
