Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possesses specialized knowledge or that the intended U.S. employment requires such knowledge. The director determined that the beneficiary's skills as an IT specialist were not sufficiently unique, uncommon, or advanced, and could be performed by other qualified professionals in the field, thus not meeting the regulatory definition for an L-1B visa.
