dismissed L-1B Case: Aviation
Decision Summary
The director's denial was affirmed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possessed specialized knowledge and that the intended employment required such knowledge. The petitioner, an airline, claimed the beneficiary's role as a flight attendant involved specialized knowledge of its 'European inflight services product' and cross-cultural training. However, the AAO found that the evidence did not prove the beneficiary's knowledge was sufficiently advanced or unique to meet the legal standard for specialized knowledge.
