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

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed, affirming the director's denial. The director found the arrangement constituted an impermissible 'labor for hire' situation under the L-1 Visa Reform Act, as the beneficiary would be stationed primarily at the worksite of an unaffiliated employer. Furthermore, the director determined that the beneficiary did not possess specialized knowledge of a product or service specific to the petitioning company.
