dismissed L-1B Case: Software Development
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possessed the required 'specialized knowledge.' The Director found the evidence insufficient to prove the beneficiary has been and will be employed in a specialized knowledge capacity, as the petitioner did not provide specific, detailed information about its proprietary processes or how the beneficiary's knowledge was uniquely special or advanced.
