h-1 for RDA?

All:

Assuming that I have a dental office willing to sponsor me for my h4 to h1, is it technically possible for RDA to be on h-1? Does INS allows h-1 for RDA?

Thanks
 
I dont think so

I dont believe you can use H1B to work as a dental assistant. This is because for most H1 jobs the job would require a bachelors degree (ie not that you have bachelors but job should require a bachelors). Maybe you can see if someone will hire you as an RDA but with a different title such as Dental Office Manager or something - best to check with a lawyer.
Best of luck.

Thanks for taking time to respond but I would beg to differ. I believe h1b requires you to have one of the following:

QUICK SUMMARY - an H1B visa applicant must have ONE of the following:
> A bachelor's degree or higher degree (or foreign equivalent) in the specialty field,
> At least 12 years progressive work experience in their specialty field,
> A license to practice in the chosen occupation (if such a license is required to practice), or
> A mix of further education (e.g Diploma) and work experience to total 12 years.


As you can see, its just one not all. And one of the options is "license to practice in the chosen occupation". RDA is registered to practice DA with license provided by state Committee on Dental Auxiliaries (In california it is called COMDA). So, I would expect that h1b should be given to RDA, may be not to DA or BDS trying to work as

H1B's are not available to Registered Nurses with an Associates degree (or even a Bachelors in Nursing) go figure out why ?
Dont you think there would be thousands of Nurses on H1B's if they were allowed to bring ppl on H1B.
Consult an attorney. It is worth spending $ 200 - $ 300 and getting proper advice. Dont base important landmark decisions by reading websites.
Thanks
