dismissed L-1B Case: Information Technology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possessed specialized knowledge or that the proposed employment required such knowledge. The director noted that the petitioner's claim of specialized knowledge was undermined by the fact that 87 other individuals were in the U.S. in L-1B status working on the same project.
