Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a specialty food store, failed to establish that the proffered 'chef' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The Director and the AAO found that the petitioner did not prove that the duties of the position require the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge and the attainment of a bachelor's or higher degree in a specific specialty, or its equivalent.
