dismissed L-1B Case: Religious Ministry
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possesses specialized knowledge or that the proposed position of Spanish computer technician requires such knowledge. The director found, and the AAO agreed, that the evidence submitted, such as a two-day software training certificate, indicated the beneficiary's skills were general and not the special or advanced knowledge required for the L-1B classification.
