Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possesses specialized knowledge or would be employed in a capacity requiring it. The director determined that the beneficiary's knowledge of certain tools and processes was readily accessible and not truly specialized. The AAO agreed with this conclusion, finding the evidence insufficient to demonstrate an advanced level of knowledge of the company's processes or special knowledge of its products.
