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. position required such knowledge. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the described duties related to wood and laminate floor installation were general knowledge common throughout the industry, rather than proprietary or advanced knowledge specific to the petitioning company's products, services, or procedures.
