dismissed L-1B Case: Information Technology Consulting
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the AAO affirmed the director's denial. The director found the petition to be an impermissible 'labor for hire' arrangement under the L-1 Visa Reform Act, as the beneficiary would be stationed at the worksite of an unaffiliated employer. The director also determined that the beneficiary did not possess the required specialized knowledge specific to the petitioner's products or services.
Criteria Discussed
