remanded EB-2 (NIW) RFE Issued

Sales And Marketing Manager

Pharmaceutical Industry · Turkey · 2022-05-25

Decision Date
2022-05-25
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 initially proposed to work as a Sales and Marketing Manager, implementing sales strategies, designing marketing plans, and identifying business development opportunities. In an RFE response, he shifted the focus to working as an entrepreneur organizing national and international sports organizations and activities to increase international travel.

Why This Petition Was Remanded

The decision was remanded because the petitioner's experience in the pharmaceutical industry may not satisfy the 'in the specialty' requirement for an advanced degree based on a tourism management degree. Furthermore, the petitioner appeared to materially change his proposed endeavor in the RFE response from sales management to sports entrepreneurship, which requires further evaluation under the Dhanasar framework.

Request for Evidence (RFE)

Unsuccessfully Addressed

The RFE sought to clarify the specific endeavor. The petitioner responded by changing his proposed work from sales management to organizing international sports activities.
