L-1B Sustained — Engineering (2021): did not establish the beneficiary possessed specialized

Decision Summary

The Director denied the petition for failing to establish that the beneficiary possessed specialized knowledge. The appeal was sustained because the petitioner provided sufficient evidence, including letters and details of progressive experience, to demonstrate the beneficiary's knowledge of a specific nuclear reactor technology was distinct, uncommon, and critical to the U.S. client's project, and that the placement would not be considered 'labor for hire'.
