Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possesses specialized knowledge as required for the L-1B visa classification. The director concluded, and the AAO agreed, that the evidence did not prove the beneficiary's knowledge was special or that his proposed role as a special projects administrator required a level of knowledge beyond what is generally found in the industry.
