L-1B Dismissed — Information Technology: the petitioner failed to overcome the director's finding
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to overcome the director's finding that they had not established that the beneficiary possesses specialized knowledge or that the proffered U.S. position requires it. The director initially denied the petition, conjecturing that the beneficiary's duties were merely entry-level, and the AAO upheld this denial.
