L-1B Dismissed โ Helicopter Services (2018): did not establish the beneficiary, a helicopter pilot,
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary, a helicopter pilot, possessed the required specialized knowledge. The Director concluded, and the AAO agreed, that the petitioner did not sufficiently demonstrate how the beneficiary's knowledge of the company's modified helicopters was uncommon or advanced compared to that of other similarly employed pilots in the industry.
