dismissed L-1B Case: Heavy Construction
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 petitioner did not sufficiently describe the proposed duties or articulate how the beneficiary's knowledge of bidding, cost structures, and regional environmental factors was proprietary, uncommon, or advanced beyond what is generally found in the industry.
