dismissed L-1B Case: Manufacturing
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possesses the required specialized knowledge. The director determined that the petitioner did not provide sufficient evidence to distinguish the beneficiary's knowledge as being advanced or different from that of other experienced employees in the same industry, and long-term employment alone was not sufficient proof.
