L-1A Dismissed — Culinary (2009): did not establish the new U.S

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the new U.S. office (a restaurant) would support an executive or managerial position within one year of approval. The evidence did not sufficiently demonstrate that the beneficiary's role as 'head chef' would be primarily managerial rather than performing the day-to-day, non-qualifying tasks of a chef.
