Q: Do you have any idea around the success rate (approvals) for the category 11-1021.00 – General and Operations Managers?
While checking on the FLCdata site. This particular category is listed as “Education & Training Code: 4-Work experience, plus a bachelor’s or higher degree”, I have been working for a large asset management firm for about 10 years. Transferred to the US on L1B on a specialist role (techno-functional) and now manage a large techno-function team globally.My roles at my level do require a bachelor’s and above degree when compared internally or externally to competitors. So do you think USCIS would still incline towards the stance of experience and not education? or would the skills/knowledge to run a function of this type would weigh in for a approval?
A: It’s going to depend a great deal on how well your company makes your case. If it can truly show that you are the only one that can the job, training shouldn’t matter over experience or vice versa. The only way to know for sure the chances would be to consult with an attorney in your area familiar with employment immigration and the need for employees like you in their area.
