Advertising And Marketing Specialist

Advertising And Marketing · Ecuador · 2023-07-26

Decision Date
2023-07-26
This case is from a USCIS Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) appeal decision. Appeal cases represent a subset of petitions and may not reflect typical outcomes.

Proposed Endeavor

The Petitioner proposes to act as an advertising and marketing specialist to maximize sales and increase revenues for clients ranging from print to TV to digital media providers. The work involves applying marketing strategies to help clients improve their market reach and financial performance.

Why This Petition Was Denied

The appeal was dismissed because the Petitioner failed to meet the threshold for 'exceptional ability' by not satisfying at least three criteria. The AAO found that the Petitioner failed to provide letters from employers proving 10 years of experience, failed to show a qualifying license or certification (as the submitted certificates were post-dated or irrelevant), and failed to demonstrate a salary or remuneration indicative of exceptional ability. Additionally, the evidence provided related to construction and maintenance of sports facilities rather than the proposed field of advertising and marketing.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE requested evidence to satisfy the exceptional ability criteria, including professional memberships. The Petitioner responded with certificates and contracts, which were ultimately found insufficient to establish eligibility.
