The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possesses the requisite specialized knowledge.

Furthermore, the beneficiary's placement at an unaffiliated employer's worksite was found to be an impermissible arrangement to provide labor for hire under the L-1 Visa Reform Act.
