L-1B Dismissed โ Travel (2009): did not establish the beneficiary's position as a safari
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's position as a safari specialist required specialized knowledge as defined by law, failing to differentiate the role from a standard travel consultant. Additionally, the petitioner's corporate status in California had been forfeited, meaning it was no longer a valid legal entity in the United States to employ the beneficiary.
