dismissed L-1B Case: Software Engineering
Decision Summary
The director denied the petition for failing to establish that the offered position of senior software engineer required an employee with specialized knowledge, or that the beneficiary possessed such knowledge. The AAO dismissed the appeal, concurring with the director's finding that the petitioner did not adequately demonstrate that the beneficiary's knowledge of the company's products, processes, or procedures was special or advanced beyond that of other senior software engineers in the industry.
