dismissed L-1B Case: Travel
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possesses specialized knowledge or would be employed in a specialized knowledge capacity. The petitioner claimed the beneficiary had unique knowledge of proprietary booking systems and upscale travel destinations, but failed to provide sufficient evidence distinguishing this knowledge from that commonly held by other experienced travel agents. Specifically, the evidence did not support the claim of extensive training required for the company's systems, undermining the assertion that the knowledge was truly special or advanced.
