L-1B Dismissed โ Information Technology (2006): did not establish the beneficiary possessed specialized
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition for failing to establish that the beneficiary possessed specialized knowledge or that the prospective U.S. position required such knowledge. The AAO dismissed the appeal, concurring with the director's finding that the evidence was insufficient to prove the beneficiary's knowledge was truly 'special' or 'advanced' as defined by regulation, beyond the skills of a generally experienced software engineer.
