L-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2008): the appeal was dismissed, affirming the director's denial

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed, affirming the director's denial of the petition. The director concluded that the beneficiary's placement at the worksite of an unaffiliated employer was essentially an impermissible arrangement to provide labor for hire, violating the anti-'job shop' provisions of the L-1 Visa Reform Act. It was also determined that the beneficiary did not possess specialized knowledge specific to the petitioner's products or services.
