dismissed EB-3 Case: Culinary Arts
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possessed the required two years of experience as a chef. The Director found inconsistencies between the experience claimed on the labor certification and information on the beneficiary's prior nonimmigrant visa application, which showed employment as a mechanic and rafting guide during the same period. The petitioner's attempts to resolve these inconsistencies were deemed insufficient and added further contradictions to the record.
