L-1B Dismissed — Software Development (2005): did not establish the beneficiary possessed specialized

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possessed specialized knowledge. The petitioner argued that the beneficiary's knowledge of a proprietary software product, including its source code and technical features, was specialized, but the AAO found the evidence insufficient to prove this knowledge was uncommon, noteworthy, or distinguished from that of other experienced professionals in the same field.
