dismissed L-1B Case: Dental Software
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a position requiring specialized knowledge. The director concluded, and the AAO agreed, that the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the beneficiary's knowledge of the company's software, products, and processes was sufficiently advanced or special to be distinguished from that of other experienced professionals in the same field.
