sustained L-1B Case: Software Development
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner provided detailed, consistent, and credible evidence, including new evidence on appeal, substantiating the beneficiary's specialized knowledge of the company's proprietary software products. The AAO found that the beneficiary's significant contributions to the design and development of these products gave him a depth of knowledge that was uncommon, not easily transferable, and integral to both his past and proposed employment.
