dismissed L-1B Case: Computer Science
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary possesses specialized knowledge as defined by the Act. The director found that the petitioner did not adequately document the beneficiary's training or provide evidence to support the claim that its customized applications were proprietary and not available in the general marketplace. The petitioner's assertions that the beneficiary gained specialized knowledge through work experience were deemed unsupported by other documentation.
