dismissed L-1B Case: Information Technology
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to sufficiently demonstrate that the beneficiary possesses specialized knowledge. The director found that the petitioner did not provide adequate documentation of the beneficiary's training or evidence to support the claim that their customized software applications were proprietary and not available in the general marketplace. The evidence failed to establish that the beneficiary's knowledge was uncommon or distinguished from that of other practitioners in the field.
