Hi All,

I got my I-129 Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker filed under the Premium Processing Program through the Texas Service Center and have received the following RFE:

The BCIS is asking for proof of at least three years of work experience to substantiate the claim that I am qualified for the offered position or any other Documentation to establish my eligibility for an H-1B Visa.

PLease note that :
1. I hold a Bachelors Degree in Chemical Engineering from One of the best Technology schools of India called Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur.

2. I have about 1.5 years of industry experience in various emerging technologies like Tibco, SeeBeyond, etc.

3. I have worked in USA for three months on a B Visa for a Well Known Client called Agilent Technologies and have received excellent appraisals from the client for my work.

4. Many of my collegeous who have never worked on any project in USA and less significant degree than mine and have less experience than me have got their H1Bs approved without any RFEs.


Has my company's attorney messed up with my case ?

Please help me out with your advice and suggestions. I would appriciate if any of you find time to help me respond to this RFE.

Let me know if any more details are required from my side for your suggestions.

Thanks and best Regards,

What was submitted as educational evaluation? Was the position a "senior" one? Maybe one of these factors went against you (B.Tech from IITk not equivalent to US- BS or this position requires more experience)
You can respond to this RFE by submitting an educational equivalency certificate and justification of the position (and salary). Few months of experience does not count.
 
Hi Jaxen,

Great to get a reply from you. I really appreciate your finding time for me for this suggestion.

I don't know what was submitted as educational evaluation, but I can ask my attorney about that.

The position offered to me is "Software Analyst" at 50K per annum.

Also my Grad school is ranked under 10 amongst the technology schools in the world so I don't think my degree is not equivalent to a US- BS. It is quite emphatic world wide.

Can you please let me know what exaclty an educational equivalency certificate is. Who can provide me such a certificate my school or someone else?

Also will you please let me know by what time should the RFE be responded so that it successfully leads to approval.

Thanks a lot for you help in advance.
Best Regards,
Shweta
