dismissed H-1B Case: Culinary Arts
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of a Japanese chef qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner required work experience rather than a bachelor's degree and did not demonstrate that a degree is the normal industry standard, that the employer normally requires one, or that the duties are complex enough to necessitate a degree.
Criteria Discussed
