dismissed L-1B Case: Leather Goods
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the beneficiary's position required specialized knowledge. The director initially denied the case because the evidence was insufficient to establish that the beneficiary's knowledge of leather production, exporting, and the company's processes was advanced or not commonly held in the industry. The petitioner's arguments on appeal did not overcome these deficiencies.
