ATTORNEYS...please help - H1B denials for pharmacy interns?

Hello,
Recently there have been a lot of RFE's issued for graduate pharmacy interns who are applying through chain pharmacies. The RFE is asking to justify that a Bachelor's degree is needed for these positions, since almost all state laws say that there is no need for a Bachelor's degree for an intern. So to respond to the RFE, it has to be demonstrated that there is some meaningful difference between a regular intern and a graduate intern. Also, they have to show it as in industry practice.
Does anyone have any idea about this? Can anyone think of any differences in duties and responsibilites of a regular intern and a graduate intern ?

Some of the pharmacy chains have replied to the RFE's but they were denied.

Its ridiculous that the USCIS after so many years of approving H1B's for the same positions is denying them now.

Attorneys, please help - what would be the best way to get a favorouble decision on this?
 
It is other way of avoiding H1 candidates, where locals are available to perform the same job with out a bachelor degree. Coming days scrutiny may be more for several ambiquous jobs which does not require a BS degree.
