dismissed L-1B Case: Digital Film Technology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possesses specialized knowledge or that the U.S. position requires such knowledge. The director initially denied the petition for this reason, and the AAO upheld that decision, finding the petitioner's evidence insufficient to meet the legal standard for specialized knowledge.
