dismissed L-1B Case: Dental Software
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition, and the AAO dismissed the appeal, because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a capacity requiring specialized knowledge. The petitioner did not sufficiently demonstrate that the beneficiary's knowledge of its proprietary dental software was uniquely advanced or distinguished from the general knowledge of practitioners in the software implementation industry.
