dismissed L-1B Case: Computer Software
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possessed specialized knowledge or that the intended U.S. employment required such knowledge. The director found that simply possessing knowledge of a proprietary software (GLOBUS) was insufficient, especially since the petitioner stated that all technical consultants receive the same training, suggesting the knowledge was not truly uncommon or advanced within the organization.
