H-1B Dismissed — Publishing (2015): did not establish the proffered position of Editorial
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish that the proffered position of Editorial Assistant qualifies as a specialty occupation. The Director, and subsequently the AAO, concluded that the evidence did not prove that the position's duties were sufficiently complex or specialized to necessitate a bachelor's degree in a specific field as a minimum entry requirement.
