dismissed L-1B Case: Retail Merchandise
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possesses specialized knowledge or that the proposed U.S. employment requires such knowledge. The director found that the petitioner did not adequately differentiate the beneficiary's duties and knowledge from those of other similarly employed workers in the field, nor demonstrate how her knowledge of the company's processes and procedures was at an advanced level.
