sustained L-1B Case: Telecommunications Technology
Decision Summary
The appeal was sustained because the petitioner successfully demonstrated that the beneficiary possesses specialized knowledge of its proprietary software product. The evidence, including internal communications and work product, established that the beneficiary's experience with the product's development and custom implementation was distinct and uncommon compared to other workers. The AAO found that this specialized knowledge was integral to both the beneficiary's past employment abroad and his intended employment in the United States.
