L-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2018): did not establish the beneficiary possessed the required

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possessed the required specialized knowledge. The Director and the AAO found that the petitioner did not sufficiently explain how the beneficiary's familiarity with the company's products and processes was truly different, uncommon, or advanced compared to that of other similarly employed workers in the IT industry. The petitioner's claims that the beneficiary's skills were unique were not supported by evidence, especially since many of those skills were acquired through his university degree and prior employment.
