Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the beneficiary had resided in the United States in F-1 student status for nearly three years prior to the petition's filing. This period was found to be interruptive of the required one year of continuous full-time employment abroad with a qualifying organization. The AAO rejected the petitioner's argument that the student stay was for the employer's benefit and should not be considered an interruption of employment.
