Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possesses specialized knowledge, or that the U.S. position requires such knowledge. The director initially denied the petition for these reasons, and the AAO upheld that decision, finding the evidence insufficient to prove the beneficiary's knowledge of the company's software development process met the high standard for specialized knowledge.
