H-1B Dismissed — Journalism (2017): did not establish the 'video journalist' position qualifies

Decision Summary

The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the 'video journalist' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The petitioner did not specify a degree requirement in the initial filing and provided a generic job description copied from the Department of Labor's handbook, which did not sufficiently detail the complexity or specialized nature of the duties to warrant a bachelor's degree in a specific field.
