H-1B Dismissed — Media (2015): did not establish the proffered 'reporter' position
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a cable television network, failed to establish that the proffered 'reporter' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO agreed with the director that the evidence did not prove that the position requires the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge and a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty as a minimum for entry.
