dismissed L-1B Case: Gas To Liquids Technology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possessed the requisite specialized knowledge or that the intended employment required such knowledge. The director determined that the evidence submitted, which included an expert opinion letter, did not prove the beneficiary's knowledge was specific to the petitioner's products, services, or processes, but rather constituted general business acumen and industry experience.
