L-1B Dismissed — Decorative Stonework (2017): did not establish the beneficiary has been and will be

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary has been and will be employed in a specialized knowledge capacity. The petitioner did not demonstrate that the beneficiary's knowledge was special or advanced compared to others in the industry, as the described duties for roles like accountant, salesperson, and researcher were generic and not shown to be dependent on proprietary knowledge.
