Do not assume the procedures are identical. The individual specialized-knowledge analysis and the blanket specialized-knowledge-professional requirement must be distinguished and assessed on the actual facts.
Review the route before drawing a credential conclusion
A TN occupation’s credential list is not the universal L-1B test. Explain the employee’s knowledge, qualifications and proposed services, and have any additional professional requirement reviewed rather than promising eligibility from a diploma or experience alone.
The statutory standard concerns special knowledge of the company's product and its application in international markets, or an advanced level of knowledge of the company's own processes and procedures. Identify the process or product knowledge used in the U.S. duties and how the applicant acquired it. A new-office case must satisfy its applicable requirements along with the specialized-knowledge and transfer conditions. Public availability does not replace the assessment of actual qualifying knowledge. Build a dated review file around the foreign employment chronology, product materials, training history, project records, and the U.S. duty description. Describe the knowledge in terms a reviewer can test, with examples of decisions the specification governs and the consequences of getting them wrong, such as trail failure after spring runoff.
Review any client-site placement for petitioner control and the labour-for-hire restrictions.
