L-1B Dismissed — Engineering (2008): did not establish the beneficiary possesses specialized

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possesses specialized knowledge as defined by the statute. The petitioner claimed the beneficiary had advanced knowledge of the company's proprietary processes, technologies, and procedures, but the director and the AAO were not convinced that this knowledge was sufficiently uncommon or distinguished from that of other practitioners in the field to qualify as 'specialized'.
