dismissed L-1B Case: Information Technology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possesses specialized knowledge that is specific to the petitioning organization. The petitioner also failed to show that the beneficiary would be principally controlled by the petitioner, rather than the unaffiliated client, and that the work arrangement was not an impermissible labor for hire situation under the L-1 Visa Reform Act.
