dismissed L-1B Case: Baking Equipment

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a specialized knowledge capacity. The director concluded, and the AAO agreed, that the beneficiary's knowledge of the foreign entity's commercial ovens and baking techniques was not proven to be sufficiently esoteric, uncommon, or advanced beyond the knowledge generally held by other practitioners in the baking industry.
