dismissed EB-3 Case: Culinary
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary met the minimum experience requirement of two years as a cook, as specified on the labor certification. The evidence provided, a letter from a former employer in Mexico, was found to be not credible due to inconsistencies, such as the beneficiary claiming to have worked full-time starting at age 12 while attending school. The petitioner did not provide sufficient independent, objective evidence to resolve the doubts regarding the beneficiary's claimed experience.
