dismissed L-1B Case: Information Technology
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.
Criteria Discussed
Specialized Knowledge L-1 Visa Reform Act (Anti-Job-Shop Provisions) Placement At Unaffiliated Worksite Control And Supervision
