L-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2009): did not establish the beneficiary possesses specialized

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possesses specialized knowledge as defined by regulation. The director initially denied the petition for lack of evidence, including the failure to document any special training the beneficiary received. The petitioner's argument on appeal that the beneficiary's experience on a specific client project constituted specialized knowledge was insufficient to overcome the director's findings.
