dismissed L-1B Case: Travel
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary would be employed in a capacity involving specialized knowledge. The petitioner argued that the beneficiary's expertise in creating unique travel itineraries for clients constituted specialized knowledge, but the director and the AAO were not persuaded that this knowledge was proprietary to the company or met the legal definition of being special or advanced.
