dismissed L-1B Case: Bakery
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's role as a bakery/confectionary specialist involved specialized knowledge. The director and the AAO found that the described duties, such as mixing and baking ingredients according to recipes, were not sufficiently complex or unique to the petitioner to be considered beyond the scope of a normally skilled baker in the industry.
