L-1B Dismissed — Maritime Transportation (2007): did not establish the beneficiary possesses specialized

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possesses specialized knowledge or that he has been employed in a position involving specialized knowledge for the required one year within the three years preceding the petition's filing. Evidence, including the beneficiary's resume, suggested he was a trainee until 2005, the year the petition was filed, which undermined the claim of having one year of experience in a specialized knowledge capacity.
