Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed primarily because the petitioner submitted a Labor Condition Application (LCA) that did not correspond to the petition. The petitioner claimed the reporter position was complex, required professional judgment, and special skills like Chinese language proficiency, but designated it as a Level I (entry-level) wage on the LCA. This inconsistency undermined the claim that the position qualified as a specialty occupation.
