dismissed L-1B Case: Computer Software Consulting
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possesses specialized knowledge as required for the L-1B visa classification. The director found that the evidence did not prove the beneficiary's knowledge of the company's products and processes was special or advanced beyond that of other employees. The petitioner's argument on appeal, that the beneficiary's participation in developing a software product conferred specialized knowledge, was not sufficient to overcome the director's finding.
