L-1B Dismissed — Aviation (2005): did not establish the beneficiary, an airline captain,

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary, an airline captain, possessed the requisite 'specialized knowledge' for the L-1B classification. The director revoked the initial approval, finding it was a gross error, arguing that the beneficiary's skills were not sufficiently specialized and that a more appropriate visa classification (nonimmigrant crewmember) existed for the position. The AAO upheld this revocation.
