Until this year, the Nightmare RFE that is virtually impossible to answer by its own instructions was the scariest RFE out there. Now, Level 1 Wages has caught everyone off guard and candidates and their attorneys and employers are still dealing with them. After having answered this RFE, a second round of RFEs affecting degrees and jobs that have been RFE magnets in the past are getting hit with CIS’ doubts about their education and employment. While an RFE is a second chance to fortify your case, or your employee or client’s case, it’s also a second chance for CIS to closely scrutinize the case and catch details that would have otherwise slipped under their radar.
The solution is to answer the Level 1 Wages RFE, and in doing so prevent the second round of RFEs. At TheDegreePeople, when we answer an Level 1 Wages RFE, we review our clients’ entire case and make sure we patch up any holes CIS might notice in the second round. We follow CIS approval trends very closely and work with difficult RFEs every year. Some jobs, like Computer Systems Analysis, are RFE magnets because there are very few degree programs with that exact title. Some degrees, like the Indian three-year bachelor’s degree, are RFE magnets because CIS is hung up on that missing fourth year of study even though the college credit hours are comparable. These situations require a detailed credential evaluation that includes years of progressive work experience and documentation of international trade agreements, precedent decisions, and federal case law.
