dismissed L-1B Case: Cigar Manufacturing
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possesses specialized knowledge or would be employed in a specialized knowledge capacity. The director found the beneficiary's duties to be general administrative tasks, not requiring complex or special knowledge, and noted inconsistencies in the job descriptions provided, which undermined the petitioner's credibility.
