dismissed L-1B Case: Fast Food Restaurant
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possessed specialized knowledge or that the proposed position of 'Operations Manager I' required such knowledge. The director concluded that the described duties, which focused on training staff on company standards and procedures, did not demonstrate a need for an individual with an advanced or special level of knowledge unique to the organization.
