L-1B Dismissed — Lighting Products (2018): did not establish the beneficiary possessed specialized

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary possessed specialized knowledge that was special or advanced compared to others in the industry. The AAO noted that some of the claimed knowledge was generic, and crucially, that the beneficiary performed his duties for over a year before receiving the training that supposedly imparted this specialized knowledge, suggesting it was not essential for the position.
