Ms. Z worked as an Event Planning Specialist at an event planning company and filed an initial H-1B petition, which required connecting the position's duties to her MBA and communications background.

Event planning roles are often viewed as general execution or coordination work, so the petition had to establish both the specialized nature of the position and the company's genuine operational need for it.

Drawing on the employer's event planning business, we showed the role's practical function in client communication, process management, and on-site execution, tied it to her MBA and communications background, and kept it from being reduced to an administrative position.

Approved in about 3 months with zero RFE and no premium processing (filed 05/27/2026 · approved 08/25/2026).
