EB-3 Sustained — Food Service (2006): established the beneficiary met the two-year management

Decision Summary

The appeal was sustained because the petitioner successfully demonstrated that the beneficiary met the two-year management experience requirement as stated on the labor certification. The AAO found that since the beneficiary's previous company was closed and he had been self-employed, the alternative evidence provided (letters from business associates, articles of incorporation, tax records) was sufficient to prove the qualifying experience when a standard letter from a former employer was unavailable.
