Decision Summary
The appeal was summarily dismissed because the petitioner failed to provide any documentary evidence to prove the beneficiary's knowledge was specialized and different from that commonly found in the industry. The petitioner's appeal also failed to specifically identify an erroneous conclusion of law or statement of fact in the original denial, which is a requirement for an appeal. The AAO additionally noted that the record lacked evidence of a qualifying corporate relationship between the U.S. petitioner and the foreign entity.
