dismissed EB-2 Case: Culinary Arts
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the job offer on the associated labor certification (ETA Form 9089) did not demonstrate that the position of a sushi and Korean food chef requires a professional with an advanced degree or an alien of exceptional ability. The AAO upheld the director's finding, referencing the Department of Labor's occupational classification for a 'restaurant cook,' which falls into a job zone that does not require the qualifications for an EB-2 petition.
