L-1B Dismissed — Software Services: did not establish the beneficiary possessed specialized

Decision Summary

The director denied the petition for failing to establish that the beneficiary possessed specialized knowledge, that the beneficiary was employed abroad in a capacity requiring such knowledge, and that the proposed U.S. position also required specialized knowledge. The AAO dismissed the appeal, agreeing with the director that the evidence submitted was insufficient to demonstrate the beneficiary's knowledge was advanced, special, or proprietary to the petitioning organization, as opposed to general knowledge common in the software industry.
