Executive Chef

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to meet at least three regulatory criteria. Evidence for lead roles did not name the Beneficiary, published materials were either self-published on Amazon Kindle after filing or lacked demonstrated significance, and salary comparisons were insufficient as they compared a 'culinary director' to 'chefs' without accounting for different responsibilities. Additionally, new evidence submitted on appeal was not considered because the Petitioner had prior opportunity to provide it.

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to establish the Beneficiary met at least three of the regulatory O-1 criteria. Specifically, the Petitioner did not demonstrate the Beneficiary would perform in leading roles in distinguished productions or events, nor did the provided articles reflect national or international recognition for achievements. The AAO did not need to review other criteria or the totality of the evidence as the initial evidentiary requirement was not met.

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to demonstrate the Beneficiary met at least three of the eight O-1 evidentiary criteria. Specifically, the AAO found that published material about the alien was not met as the evidence only showed authorship or citations, not material *about* the alien. Original contributions of major significance were not established as citations were not shown to be unusually high or to represent major impact, and testimonial letters lacked specific detail on major influence. Critical employment roles were also not met as letters did not sufficiently elaborate on the significant importance of the Beneficiary's contributions to the organizations.

The motion was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to specify any factual or legal errors in the prior decision, instead restating previous arguments. The evidence provided did not satisfy the required three criteria under 8 C.F.R. § 214.2(o)(3)(v)(B). Additionally, the claim for commercial success was not considered because it was raised for the first time on appeal.
