No. Explain the employee’s actual special or advanced organizational knowledge and its use in the proposed duties. Equipment complexity alone does not establish the standard.
Show the knowledge behind the work
Identify decisions or interpretations based on the applicant’s acquired company knowledge. General technical competence may provide context but cannot replace the explanation of what makes the knowledge qualify for the actual assignment.
L-1B addresses a transfer within qualifying organizations for a person with specialized knowledge of the petitioning organization’s product, service, research, equipment, techniques, management, or other interests and its application in international markets. A grower who developed the company's own climate-control thresholds, its substrate recipe and the sequence it uses to move plugs from germination to finishing holds knowledge that exists only inside the company. L-1B also requires one continuous qualifying year abroad within the applicable preceding three, active entities linked through a qualifying parent, branch, subsidiary, or affiliate relationship, and U.S. duties that actually use the asserted knowledge. An assignment primarily at an unaffiliated worksite must not place the employee under the client’s principal control and supervision and must relate to a product or service requiring petitioner-specific specialized knowledge rather than labour for hire, and total L-1B stay is limited to five years.
