Not automatically. Assess the actual knowledge and its relation to the applicable L-1B standard. Public availability alone does not establish or defeat the case.
Explain the internal experience
Identify what the applicant knows about the relevant organizational process and how the proposed work uses it. Do not equate reading a publication with advanced knowledge or assume undocumented knowledge is always required.
The standard can involve special knowledge of the company’s products or interests and their international application, or advanced knowledge of its processes and procedures. A portfolio may demonstrate skill or participation without explaining the employer’s internal process. Describe the product, process or procedure and the applicant’s demonstrated experience. Attendance should be connected with the knowledge actually acquired and used. A brief project does not create a new knowledge or service test. If the answer is many months because the employer's method is genuinely its own and is not published anywhere, the claim has substance. General technical ability or a history of answering routine questions does not automatically establish that standard. The affiliate's need is then plain: it has a state contract requiring the firm's standard, and nobody in Vermont has been trained to deliver it.
