L-1B Dismissed — Restaurant Industry: did not establish the beneficiary's position as a Head Chef

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the beneficiary's position as a Head Chef requires specialized knowledge as defined by immigration law. The director found the evidence insufficient to prove that the beneficiary's knowledge of the company's recipes and cooking techniques was truly special or advanced beyond that of a skilled chef in the industry.
