dismissed L-1B Case: Information Technology
Decision Summary
The director's denial was affirmed because the arrangement was deemed an impermissible 'job shop' placement under the L-1 Visa Reform Act of 2004. The director concluded that the beneficiary, who would be stationed at an unaffiliated employer's worksite, was essentially being provided as labor for hire rather than for a service requiring specialized knowledge specific to the petitioner.
Criteria Discussed
Specialized Knowledge L-1 Visa Reform Act Control And Supervision Labor For Hire
