dismissed L-1B Case: Fashion Design
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possesses the required specialized knowledge. The director found the beneficiary's role appeared to be that of a generalist fashion designer rather than that of a key employee with knowledge that is special or advanced specific to the petitioning company's products, processes, or procedures.
