H1B Denial. Please see my case.

[hey18]

I am a foreign-trained physical therapist. I have been advised by employer that my H1B visa petition has been denied. It was denied because according to my employer's lawyer, I should be qualified to take the NPTE (National Physical Therapy Examination. According to him, I should have the eligibility to take exam. The problem is I am still waiting for the eligibility letter. But according to them (Michigan Licensing Division), I could take the exam in New York (I am eligible to take the exam there) and just apply for licensure through endorsement. My questions are what are my chances of getting an H1B approval with such case and what are the needed steps that I should take to get an approval? Please help me. Thank you.

1) You should obtain your license.
2) Do not apply for an H1-B visa but a H2 visa.
3) As soon as the H2 visa is issued, wait 3 months then apply again for a H1-B.

The interesting fact is a physical therapist is a job highly wanted in US and there is an important of qualified P.T. I am very surprised that the BCIS denied your case. I suspect the lawyer did not present well your qualifications.
