dismissed L-1B Case: Technology Services
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possesses the required specialized knowledge. The Director found, and the AAO concurred, that the petitioner did not explain with sufficient specificity how the beneficiary's knowledge was uncommon or advanced compared to that of other workers in the industry. The AAO also noted ambiguities in the record regarding the beneficiary's employment history, which undermined the claim that he gained specialized knowledge over a sufficient period.
