dismissed EB-3 Case: Chinese Cuisine
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove that the beneficiary was qualified for the position of Chinese specialty cook. During a consular interview, the beneficiary could not adequately describe common dishes and a video of his cooking further convinced the officer of his lack of skill. The petitioner failed to overcome these findings on appeal, as the new evidence submitted was either not in a proper evidentiary format (an unsworn letter) or was technically unviewable (a video in a foreign format).
