L-1B Dismissed — Food Service (2005): did not establish the beneficiary's position as a head

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's position as a head baker of ethnic specialties met the legal definition of a 'specialized knowledge' capacity. The evidence did not sufficiently demonstrate that the beneficiary's knowledge of baking was specific to the petitioning company's unique products, services, or procedures, as opposed to being the general skills of an experienced baker in a particular cuisine.
