dismissed L-1B Case: Seafood Processing
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possesses specialized knowledge as legally defined. The director originally denied the petition on this basis, and the AAO affirmed this conclusion, finding the evidence insufficient to prove the beneficiary's knowledge was distinct from general skills common in the seafood processing industry.
