L-1B Sustained — Cloud Security Architecture (2018): the AAO disagreed with the Director's finding
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the AAO disagreed with the Director's finding. The AAO concluded that the record demonstrated the Beneficiary's years of progressive experience, senior technical role on a small international team, and work on a proprietary global platform required a special knowledge of the company's technologies and an advanced knowledge of its internal processes, which was sufficiently different from others in the industry.
