Part-time approval at a small company
Background
J double-majored in finance and economics as an undergraduate, holds a master's in econometrics, and works as a part-time Management Analyst at an accounting firm.
Challenges
"Small company" and "not a full-time position" are two of the highest-risk labels in H-1B review.
Strategy
We reframed the job duties as a quantitative role centered on data analysis and systems optimization, cited materials from several industry platforms to establish its specialized nature, and used the depth of the duties and the work product to show that the part-time role was continuously specialized.
Outcome
Part-time H-1B approved without RFE (filed 06/16 · approved 10/19, 2025).
