L-1B Dismissed — Software Consulting: the director determined that the beneficiary was not

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the director determined that the beneficiary was not employed by the foreign entity in a specialized knowledge capacity for the required one continuous year. The petitioner's own statement indicated an in-house training program that lasts at least one year, and the beneficiary had only been employed for 13 months. This led the director to conclude that the beneficiary had not yet acquired one full year of working at the specialized knowledge level.
