CASE: H-1B Visa Petition
PETITIONER: Surface Treatment Solutions Manufacturer
BENEFICIARY: Chinese Operations Research Analyst
Our client is one of the world’s largest surface treatment solutions manufacturing companies in the world. Located in Cleveland Ohio, they contacted our office in March of this year to seek legal assistance from our office for their foreign employee.
The beneficiary obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Management in China and her Master’s degree in Management with specialization in Operations Research and Supply Chain Management in the United States.
The proffered position for the Beneficiary is an operations research analyst which qualifies as a specialty occupation. This position is a “specialty occupation” because the minimum requirements for this position are a Master’s Degree (even higher than a Bachelor’s degree) in Management or its equivalent.
Once retained, our office promptly filed the H-1B visa petition with various supporting documents on March 31, 2014 via regular processing service. This H-1B petition was selected after the lottery and was thus processed.
Eventually, our client’s H-1B application was approved on May 13, 2014 without any Request for Evidence. Starting October 1, 2014, she can work for her employer on an H-1B status for the next three years.
