dismissed L-1B Case: Airline Industry
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary, a flight attendant, possesses specialized knowledge as defined by the statute. The petitioner's claim that knowledge of a 'proprietary, European in-flight service product' and cultural nuances constituted specialized knowledge was not found to be persuasive. The AAO affirmed the director's finding that the petitioner did not prove that the beneficiary's knowledge was special or advanced or that the position required such knowledge.
