O-2 Dismissed — Culinary Arts (2010): did not establish the beneficiary, a restaurant general

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the beneficiary, a restaurant general manager, would be providing essential support integral to the performance of the principal O-1 alien chef. The director concluded that the beneficiary's role supported the restaurant in general rather than the specific artistic performance of the chef, and that a critical prior working relationship was not sufficiently established.
