what do you think of when you hear operations research
analyst well it's one of those cases that USCIS likes to deny because it has analysts in the end
well that's our opinion so operations research analyst was the beneficiary's title
salary is quite low in the industry probably the lowest in the industry so it's a young graduate
that's doing this position with a low salary we did two things that's very unique to this case
the case got approved immediately and we want to share that with you let's get to it
so the legal problem in this case is that this large company huge tech company wanted to hire
this young graduate for a position of operation research analyst there wasn't any room to budge
out of that position right it wasn't the ideal position that we would have selected
but that was a position that was chosen so we had to work with it the salary we wished it was
a lot higher the beneficiary obviously which was a lot higher but that was what the company
had set most of the time we're able to work with the beneficiary and the company and the
hr department to come up with a best position and the best salary to get the case approved
but in this case these were set so on top of the four things that we typically do for all cases
because it's a little bit difficult we wanted to spend a little bit more time in making it just
that much better the four things we typically do arguing that it's common to the industry
well a tech company using an operation research analyst with a minimum bachelor's degree yes
kind of sort of we argue that we listed out all the companies that used it right then we argued
that this company have hired operation research specialist in the past well yes they kind of did
so we included that we argue that this position is highly complex and needs a bachelor degree
yes we argue that and we argue that this position just requires a bachelor's degree and that is the
part that we actually spend a little bit more time typically USCIS when they're looking at a
particular position they consult the o-net but the problem with the o-net it's it's not really
up to date to today's standard and for these tech companies a lot of times what they write there is
not good enough a lot of times they actually don't have specific roles for most companies today so we
actually didn't heavily rely on the o-net we only used it a little bit like a half a paragraph
the majority of the argument we actually focused on this other agency the institute of operation
research and management sciences the informs so we were able to use all of their research to argue
and because they argue that operation research analyst is a very highly complex position and
of course they will say that because that's what they research right and but yet they are
very prestigious so we were able to heavily rely on another institution and another prestigious
organization's research to argue that our beneficiary's position at this company is highly
specialized and complex it's not something that we'd always do for every single case because USCIS
doesn't necessarily rely on other third-party resources but if they recognize expert opinions
they definitely should recognize these prestigious other institutions right on top of o-net so we use
o-net but we use it as a supporting argument the second thing that's unique to this case that we
typically don't do for all cases is we put the applicant's beneficiaries background front and
center we made this into a job application h1b applications you don't have an interview a officer
is just sitting at the desk and reviewing so think about that what is another position where somebody
is sitting there reviewing tons and tons and tons of applications all about a person's credentials
that's right the hiring department so we applied the typical job application strategy
for somebody to get a job and we applied it to the h1b we wanted to make the officer
the USCIS officer reviewing this h1b application to see that oh my goodness i would want to hire
this person this person has a master's degree has an ivy league education has all these other
crazy engineering certificates to show that this person will excel in this particular position so
putting this person front and center so the officer can clearly see and feel wow these
foreigners with such high degrees and with such great grades is able to work in our company and
our tech sector to make the products that make our country great right yes i want to hire this
person that is a very unique strategy that we do it's not part of the h1b requirement nobody
will ever be sued because they didn't utilize this strategy and their case got denied but we thought
that this particular case it was worth trying and so we did it and the kids got approved even though
it was a low salary and it's the job position and a title and a duty that it's not typically loved
based on these two methods we got the case approved so just want to share that with you
