Hi ,

Can any one provide a bit of guidance here for my case as I am keen to know more if any one else has also faced the same experience.

I have a BE in chemical Engg with 8 yrs of IT experience but on the I-129 W my employers attorney has mentioned that I have a Bachelors degree and the major / field of study is Computers. Is that what most of us have to put on the I-129 or should we mention that we have a Bachelors Degree in Chemical as this would lead to an additional burden to prove that how are we qualified for a S/W job ?

Would this qualify for the infamous 221(g) at Chennai where the hardnosed visa officers are closely examining issues related to Non-IT Degree's ?

Has anyone with a non-IT degree put the same details (computers as a major/ field of study) and had a successfull H1-B stamping?

Your inputs are much appreciated.

Thanks

6-7 yrs ago, degree did not bother Chennai consulate. (any engineering degree, or BA, BCom OK)

Nowadays, they are finding every reasons to delay or denay H1 visa.

Make sure you have sufficeint certificate to substantiate your IT Skills. Exp certificate alone will not satisfy them.
