Yes, when it constitutes special or advanced knowledge and the U.S. position involves it. Standard machine operation, long tenure or a safety credential alone does not establish the required distinction.
Explain the company process
Describe the employee’s understanding of the organisation’s production methods, products or procedures and support it with actual assignments. Knowledge need not be unique or proprietary, but the petition should explain how it goes beyond ordinary industry familiarity or reflects advanced process understanding. Include the qualifying foreign-employment and corporate evidence rather than relying only on technical records.
Distinguish what has been learned from what is about to be. Hypothetical example: a technician is proposed for a U.S. assignment commissioning a charging-equipment production line the company has not yet built anywhere, and the specialised claim rests on process choices still being finalised.
That is expected knowledge rather than held knowledge, and the case needs to say so. Describe the employee understanding of the organisation production methods, products or procedures and support it with assignments already completed. The knowledge need not be unique or proprietary, and the petition should explain how it goes beyond ordinary industry familiarity.
Standard machine operation, long tenure or a safety credential alone establishes none of this, and the qualifying foreign-employment and corporate evidence remains required.
