USCIS recognizes Market Research Analysts for H-1B visas

Good News! for Market Research Analysts. The USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) is now considering 'Market Research Analysts' as a specialty occupation and are eligible for H-1B visas. The U.S. immigration agency reached a settlement for visa denials for market research analyst positions.

The lawsuit — filed in federal court in the Northern District of California by the American Immigration Council, the American Immigration Lawyers Association, along with law firms Van Der Hout LLP, Joseph & Hall PC, and Kuck Baxter Immigration LLC — seeks to rein in the unlawful adjudication practice the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) uses in determining whether a market research analyst job qualifies as a “specialty occupation.”

  It also discussed about the agency's misinterpretation of the Occupational Outlook Handbook - a publication of the US Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics that outlines hundreds of occupations in the United States' job market.

The foreign nationals should work in a field that requires specialized knowledge, for which the U.S. employer is unable to find a US-based worker.
