Getting an RFE is rarely, if ever, the end of the road. It is a request for evidence, meaning CIS is open to reversing if you can provide what they need. The solution is to preempt the second round of RFEs in your response to the first.
That means if you, or your employee or client received a notorious Double Specialty Occupation/Wage Level RFE, you should also be thinking about bolstering your evidence to support the educational requirements. If you, or your employee or client’s RFE was about their education, include supporting evidence to verify the job also meets H1B requirements.
If this sounds like a lot of work to you, that’s because it is. BUT it’s a lot more work if you have to answer two RFEs this H1B season. Every year CIS approval trends change, and that means we’ve got to stay alert and innovative in our RFE answers.
At TheDegreePeople, when we review a client’s RFE we review the entire case to see where evidence might be lacking and advise accordingly. We have experts on call 24/7 to address wage level and specialty occupation issues, as well as expert credential evaluators to address educational issues. Our evaluators don’t rely on online databases, but rather evaluate each credential individually with regard for the job, the specific visa requirements, international education and commerce agreements, and CIS approval trends.
Make the most of your RFE response this H1B season so you only have to do it once. For a free review of your case, visit ccifree.com/. We will get back to you in 48 hours or less with a full pre-evaluation and analysis, and our expert recommendations for how to best proceed.
