L-1B Dismissed — Hotel Management (2006): did not establish the beneficiary possessed specialized

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possessed specialized knowledge or that the proposed U.S. position required such knowledge. The director concluded, and the AAO upheld, that the described duties of a 'hotel controller' were generic financial and accounting responsibilities common in the hospitality industry, rather than tasks demonstrating an advanced level of knowledge of the company's specific processes, products, or procedures.
