L-1B Dismissed — Investment Services (2020): did not establish the beneficiary had one continuous year

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary had one continuous year of full-time employment abroad in the three years preceding the petition's filing date. The beneficiary entered the U.S. on an F-1 student visa before completing the required year, and time spent in the U.S. does not count toward the foreign employment requirement, even if the beneficiary remained on the foreign employer's payroll.
