Yes. L-1B does not require a degree. It requires specialized knowledge of the company's product, processes or procedures, shown by evidence of how she acquired and applies that knowledge.
Authorship and service history are the evidence
Hypothetical example: a Frontenac Islands commissioning technician left a college diploma program early and learned the company's membrane systems on the job over nine years. The absence of a degree does not disqualify her. What the petition must show is that her knowledge is special or advanced in relation to the company's own systems: that she wrote or substantially revised the commissioning procedures, that other technicians are trained by her and that the company sends her to installations where standard technicians fail.
Documents do that work better than adjectives. A revision log with her name on successive versions of the start-up procedure, a training register and a list of installations with the faults she resolved are the kind of evidence an adjudicator can weigh. The petition should also explain why a U.S.
hire could not replace her quickly, which for a proprietary control platform is usually the training time and the absence of the procedures anywhere outside the company. Hypothetical example: A Frontenac Islands food-safety calibration specialist is asked to support a U.S. affiliate that uses the same instruments.
The first review should distinguish familiarity with commercial equipment from knowledge of the company’s uncommon calibration sequence and error database. Training records, authored procedures, and declarations from technical leaders settle that distinction. If the affiliate can buy the same knowledge from a vendor, the employer must explain why this employee’s company-specific knowledge remains materially different.
