I work in a specialized field which is in the visual industry, so looking through the NAFTA list the job that i most closely fall under is management consultant.
My question is, how wide is that job definition. I want to be 100% this partains to my career so that I can pursue the proper visa for moving to the states.
Thanks, any info is greatly appreciated!
First of all, good luck.
USCIS will look at the closest similar job that is listed in the Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH) from the Department of Labor.

For a Management Analyst (also called Management Consultant):
As business becomes more complex, firms are continually faced with new challenges. They increasingly rely on management analysts to help them remain competitive amidst these changes. Management analysts, often referred to as management consultants in private industry, analyze and propose ways to improve an organization's structure, efficiency, or profits.
****************
Despite 24 percent employment growth, keen competition is expected for jobs; opportunities should be best for those with a graduate degree, specialized expertise, and a talent for salesmanship and public relations.
About 26 percent, three times the average for all occupations, are self-employed.
A bachelor's degree is sufficient for many entry-level government jobs; many positions in private industry require a master's degree, specialized expertise, or both.
***************************
Entry requirements for management analysts vary. For some entry-level positions, a bachelor's degree is sufficient. For others, a master's degree or specialized expertise is required.
Education and training. Educational requirements for entry-level jobs in this field vary between private industry and government. Many employers in private industry generally seek individuals with a master's degree in business administration or a related discipline. Some employers also require additional years of experience in the field or industry in which the worker plans to consult. Other firms hire workers with a bachelor's degree as research analysts or associates and promote them to consultants after several years. Some government agencies require experience, graduate education, or both, but many also hire people with a bachelor's degree and little work experience for entry-level management analyst positions.

There is no appeal from an I-129 TN denial but a Motion can be filed in these cases.
