L-1B Dismissed — Food Service (2005): did not establish the beneficiary possessed specialized

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary possessed specialized knowledge as defined by regulation. The director determined, and the AAO agreed, that the evidence was insufficient to demonstrate that the beneficiary's skills as a head baker were specific to the petitioning organization's unique products, services, or processes, rather than being general skills of a specialty chef.
