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.
