dismissed L-1B Case: Information Technology Consulting
Decision Summary
The director's denial was affirmed, and the appeal was effectively dismissed. The AAO found that the petitioner failed to overcome the provisions of the L-1 Visa Reform Act, as the beneficiary's placement at an unaffiliated employer's worksite was determined to be an impermissible labor-for-hire arrangement, rather than a placement requiring specialized knowledge specific to the petitioner.
Criteria Discussed
Specialized Knowledge L-1 Visa Reform Act Labor For Hire Prohibition Control And Supervision At Third-Party Worksite
