dismissed L-1B Case: Hospitality
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to respond to a Request for Evidence (RFE), which is grounds for denial. Notwithstanding this failure, the AAO found that the petitioner did not provide a detailed and specific description of the beneficiary's duties that would demonstrate specialized knowledge, offering only vague claims about proprietary standards without defining what made them special, uncommon, or advanced.
