dismissed L-1B Case: Information Technology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possesses specialized knowledge specific to the petitioning organization. The director also found, and the AAO concurred, that the beneficiary's placement at an unaffiliated client's worksite was an impermissible arrangement to provide labor for hire, and that the petitioner failed to show it would maintain principal control and supervision over the beneficiary.
