H-1B Dismissed — Broadcast Journalism (2017): did not establish the proffered position of 'broadcast news
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate that the proffered position of 'broadcast news analyst' qualifies as a specialty occupation. The decision highlighted a material inconsistency between the petitioner's claims of a complex position requiring significant expertise and the Level I (entry-level) wage designated on the Labor Condition Application (LCA). This contradiction undermined the credibility of the claim that the position's duties necessitate a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty.
