dismissed L-1B Case: Information Technology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possesses specialized knowledge. The petitioner made general claims about the beneficiary's knowledge of proprietary systems and processes but did not provide specific, detailed evidence to demonstrate how this knowledge was either 'special' compared to others in the industry or 'advanced' compared to other workers within the organization.
