dismissed L-1B Case: Computer Technology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possesses specialized knowledge or that the proposed employment is in a capacity that requires such knowledge. The evidence, which included a training program and a description of the beneficiary's experience, was deemed insufficient to demonstrate that the beneficiary's knowledge of the company's proprietary software products was advanced or distinct from what is commonly held in the field.
