dismissed L-1B Case: Software Applications
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possessed the requisite specialized knowledge or that the U.S. position required such knowledge. The director issued a request for evidence asking how the beneficiary's knowledge was advanced and different from others in the industry, but the petitioner's response was deemed insufficient and merely reiterated prior claims without providing the requested substantive evidence.
