dismissed L-1B Case: Information Technology
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition for failing to demonstrate that the beneficiary would be employed in a specialized knowledge capacity, as the evidence did not show the beneficiary's knowledge was unusual for an applications software analyst/programmer. The AAO dismissed the appeal, finding that the petitioner's claim that the beneficiary's knowledge of its internal software development process was specialized was not sufficiently supported by the record.
