Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to sufficiently establish the substantive nature of the proffered 'editor' position, precluding a determination that it qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO found the record contained inconsistencies, lacked sufficient detail about the job duties, and therefore did not demonstrate that the role requires a bachelor's degree in a specific field. The decision also questioned whether the Labor Condition Application (LCA) corresponded to the position.
