dismissed L-1B Case: Software Development
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary was employed abroad in a capacity requiring specialized knowledge or that the proposed U.S. position required such knowledge. The director found the evidence did not sufficiently distinguish the beneficiary's knowledge of the company's products, processes, and procedures from the general knowledge held by others within the same industry.
