Too many odd bits and pieces. |

Yes, perhaps enough to make a difference.
That said, I believe that Nutmegger is probably right, that USCIS is seeing a pattern and is cracking down on wholesale importation of smurf-like workers - lots of small cogs all dong the same job, one that perhaps could be done on-line/ remotely anyway. Cannot be done online line or remotely, would be impossible in our field |
Re: E2 essential employee visa denied
Well I am none the wiser and can not think what it could be, quite fascinating however. Something I have never come across and can not envisage.
Can anyone come up with something that could fit this? |

Tthis is not wholesale as there is only 16-17 people in the E2 Visa company for a very big US company. ....
I can't help but wonder if the objection is that the large US corporation is subcontracting to your employer as a way to do an end-run around the limitations (of numbers of visas available) of the H-1B visa program. It will be interesting to see if in future those people who already have an E-2 are able to renew it. |

All I know is that the company need me at a site in the US and they had other people successful through this so I thought I’d pursue it. i know one of the employees got renewed recently at the end of last year. His story is that he got denied the first time and then accepted the second time but the officer only gave him 2 years and then he came back to do a renewal and got 5 years. |
Re: E2 essential employee visa denied
Pure speculation, but given the vague description thus far, it might be that the person assessing your application felt it was about time that "skill" that was thus far only trained to people in the UK, could now be trained out to the USA workforce given a critical mass of UK specialists were now on hand. The gradual change in interpretation of Immigration laws will no doubt have helped them come to that decision, if it is even remotely what happened. And yes, since March is entirely possible - they just changed the top dog with a view to press harder.
You seem very coy about giving out any details about the type of work, so lets make this a safe place, I;ll go first. I work in Contact Centre Forecasting & Planning, Business Process Analysis and Project Management, how about you? |
Re: E2 essential employee visa denied
oh, and if we don't end up sharing job role information (i'm getting the sense a few people may like to know what it is you do to be able to help you), then if the theory on the reason stands-up (tightening of rules), as it is a human process, a retry may well be a success.

There is no questions on the ds160 about why the company needs you. It asks for general duties in the position at the US which I am sure gets filled in for everyone that got approved before exactly the same. The only thing is my company have had a denial in the past the first time and then the second time got accepted. I think they have delt with this a 2/3 times and want me to do the same thing. It has been some time since my Essential Employee application, but I can very clearly remember reading an extensive explanation of what my skills were and their relevance/paramount importance to the business, that our attorney had compiled. This is true for every E-2 applicant we ran through. |

Re: E2 essential employee visa denied
Intrigued now, certainly the post history provides some colour to the refusal - half the past 3 years have been on J1 Visa's in Summer Camp and then a "trainee" - I can well imagine a rulebook being metaphorically thrown at that being counted in the criteria for the E2, alongside anything pre-18 as well. What can you do in Summer Camp a mere two years ago that would not be known by Americans? Surely in this day an age, football wouldn't support more than the seasonal stuff unless you were a Professional footballer or Coach already.
Rugby maybe? There has been a push on that recently, especially Sevens. Getting that set-up at grassroots level might require some outside knowledge for a while I guess. Oh hurry-up, Who Dunnit? |
Re: E2 essential employee visa denied
More pure speculation: 16-17 suggests a boilerplate application. Maybe the interviewer had seen one too many. |

(Which Donald trump owns some of the sites lol)” Golf maybe? |

How could Golf or Football have UK specific skills?

Re: E2 essential employee visa denied
See, I did think Golf, with the retail and Trump bit thrown in to spice up the challenge of guessing, but what on earth would the Brits be hoping to teach the locals?
