Original Date Announced
March 19, 2018USCIS adopts as policy the decision of Administrative Appeals Office in Matter of S-P-, Inc. The decision states that an individual who worked abroad for a qualifying multinational organization for at least one year, but left its employ for a period of more than two years after being admitted to the United States as a nonimmigrant, does not satisfy the one-in-three foreign employment requirement for EB-1 immigrant classification as a multinational manager or executive. To cure the interruption in employment, the individual would need an additional year of qualifying employment abroad before he or she could once again qualify. [ID #502]
