dismissed L-1B Case: Furniture Hardware Systems
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a capacity involving specialized knowledge. The director had initially denied the petition for this reason, and on appeal, the petitioner did not successfully demonstrate that the beneficiary's knowledge of the company's products and systems was sufficiently special or advanced beyond that of a skilled worker in the industry.
