L-1B Dismissed โ 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, and noted that the D visa for nonimmigrant crewmembers was a more appropriate classification for the beneficiary's role.
