dismissed L-1B Case: Plastics Manufacturing
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the beneficiary possessed the required specialized knowledge. The petitioner's evidence, particularly a document regarding the beneficiary's promotion, was found to be unreliable due to an uncertified translation and significant, unresolved inconsistencies in dates. Ultimately, the petitioner did not meet the burden of demonstrating that the beneficiary's knowledge was special or advanced beyond what is common in the industry.
