L-1B Dismissed — Information Technology (2007): did not establish the beneficiary possessed specialized

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possessed specialized knowledge or that the U.S. position required such knowledge. The petitioner claimed the beneficiary had uncommon knowledge of its software lifecycle related to Microsoft BizTalk, but did not sufficiently distinguish this knowledge from general industry expertise, especially since BizTalk certification is available outside the company.
