I receive the RFE of H1B 2009 today.

they hope i can provide any type of license to practice or provide the engineering service to the public. However, they also address if state law allow individual to fully practice the occupation under the licensed engineer's supervision, just need to send an evidence of the law.

It is because i haven't have any kinds of licenses,therefore, my company contacted the Idaho Board of professional engineer and got the following State Statute Code for this:

TITLE 54
PROFESSIONS, VOCATIONS, AND BUSINESSES
CHAPTER 12
ENGINEERS AND SURVEYORS
54-1223. SAVING CLAUSE -- EXEMPTIONS.
(1) This chapter shall not be construed to affect:

(b) The work of an employee or a subordinate of a person holding a certificate of registration under this chapter, provided such work does not include final engineering design or land surveying decisions and is done under the direct responsibility, checking, and supervision of, and
verified by, a person holding a certificate of registration under this chapter.

my question is does anyone know whether this code is good enough to answer what USCIS requested?
Please advice about this urgent question.

I appreciate your help and time!
 
Get a signed statement from the Board your company contacted that what you are going to do in H-1B status does not require license in Idaho. A copy of the statute along with the statement should be enough. Hasn't the attorney who prepared your H-1B petition advised it?
 
Thank you,Snugjoint

I write down the exactly sentences what RFE requested as follows,

" If the state where the beneficiary will work allows an individual to fully practice the occupation under the supervision of a licensed supervisor in that occupation,provide evidence of such and a copy of supervisor's license to practice as a member of profession."

My company filed the petition for me. I am sure they did not hire any attorney to do this. So, my company is going to prepare three documents. Hence, if possible, could Snugjoint or some other experienced people help me to see whether those documents meet what USCIS requested.

three documents are,
1) a letter from my supervisor, he certifies i will be working under his supervision.
2) Idaho State Statute (the Italic sentences in the first post )
3) Supervisor's professional license

(P.S. It's a little bit hard to get a signed statement letter from the Board.So, please let me know if without the statement, whether my evidences are enough?)

Thank you very much!
I appreciate everyone's help!
 
Looks like it should be enough because that's exactly what USCIS is requesting for. But a statement from an organization that is in a neutral position is better (I'm talking about 1)) because a letter from your would-be supervisor, no matter how well it is stated, is considered basically self-serving. Whenever a license is an issue, a statement from authority which regulates the license should be the strongest evidence. Just a generalized statement without mentioning the company name or individual name should suffice.
