Hi,

My wife is currently pursuing her CPA. We had applied for her H1 for an accounting position through a consulting firm. We have received a RFE for her H1 application.

Her H1 was applied with the job title as "accountant and auditor".

The RFE states "the prospective employee's qualifications appear to be based on an occupation that may require a license for an individual to fully perform the duties of the occupation. Please submit the license or evidence from the appropriate licensing authority that no license is required."

I have the following doubts,

1> What does "appropriate licensing authority" mean? Does it mean the state board of accountancy of the state from which the H1 was applied?

2> Do state boards of accountancy provide such letters?

We are very much concerned and would appreciate any help/ advice from other members who have faced similar kind of RFEs. Any tips on responding to such RFE will be very helpful.
 
Received H1b RFE for accounting position

Hi hhb999,
I know it has been almost 3 years since your post but I hope you or someone else in the same situation to help me with an answer.
My wife applied with premium processing for an H1B as accountant in Massachusetts and just received RFE that stated the same reason as your wife's:
"the prospective employee's qualifications appear to be based on an occupation that may require a license for an individual to fully perform the duties of the occupation. Please submit the license or evidence from the appropriate licensing authority that no license is required."

My wife graduated a year ago with bachelors in BA and works for her sponsor company since then. She doesn't have a CPA license.

I hope that you can help us since you went trough the same procedure. How did you resolve that issue?

I'll appreciate if anyone else here help us with some good advise.
