Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a specialized knowledge capacity. While the AAO withdrew the Director's finding that the beneficiary was unqualified, it agreed that the U.S. and foreign positions did not involve knowledge that was sufficiently special or advanced compared to others in the industry.
