dismissed L-1B Case: Information Technology Consulting
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the director's denial was affirmed. The director found that the beneficiary, who would be stationed primarily at an unaffiliated employer's worksite, was part of an arrangement to provide labor for hire, which is prohibited by the L-1 Visa Reform Act of 2004. The petitioner failed to demonstrate that the placement required specialized knowledge specific to their own products or services.
