L-1B Dismissed — Software Solutions (2019): did not establish the beneficiary possesses specialized

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possesses specialized knowledge. The petitioner did not specify the nature of this knowledge, how it was gained, or why the job duties required it, and improperly focused on knowledge of a client's business rather than its own proprietary processes. The petitioner also undermined its claim by describing the beneficiary's work with the foreign entity as 'less critical' and 'generic'.
