dismissed L-1B Case: Finance
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possessed specialized knowledge or that the proposed U.S. role required it. The director determined that the petitioner did not prove the beneficiary's knowledge of the company's financial policies and payroll procedures was uncommon, noteworthy, or distinguished by some unusual quality not generally known by other practitioners in the field.
