dismissed L-1B Case: Information Technology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to overcome the director's finding that the petition represented an impermissible labor-for-hire arrangement under the L-1 Visa Reform Act. The director concluded that the beneficiary would be stationed primarily at the worksite of an unaffiliated employer, would not be principally controlled and supervised by the petitioner, and did not possess specialized knowledge specific to the petitioning employer.
Criteria Discussed
