Market Research Analyst eligible to get H1B Visa, US Recognizes it as a special job
New Delhi: Good news for the thousands of Indians who are planning and waiting to get the H1B visa of the United States. A federal court has approved a settlement under which the US Citizenship and Immigration Services has agreed to qualify market research analyst as a specialty occupation for the purposes of determining the H-1B visa application of a foreign professional.
The settlement approved by the federal district court in the Northern District of California would now let companies request that the USCIS reopen and re-adjudicate their denied H-1B petitions.
Leslie K Dellon – senior attorney at the American Immigration Council said that “This settlement is an important victory that will benefit hundreds of American businesses and the market research analysts they sought to employ.”
“The settlement gives US businesses another chance to have their H-1B market research analyst petitions approved – this time under new guidance worked out by the parties to the lawsuit. Each H-1B petition reopened and approved will represent another opportunity for US employers and the workers they sponsored to advance their business objectives,” she said.
Jeff Joseph, a partner at Berry Appleman & Leiden LLP, said this settlement finally resolves an issue on which immigration lawyers have been battling the government for years.
