dismissed L-1B Case: Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possessed the requisite specialized knowledge or that the intended U.S. employment required such knowledge. The director found the petitioner's descriptions of the beneficiary's duties and knowledge to be too general and not demonstrably different from other similarly trained engineers. The evidence provided on appeal was not sufficient to overcome the director's findings.
