What H1B Job Title is an RFE Magnet?

Credential Evaluation, Immigration, Visa Approvals


US Bachelor’s degrees in Computer Systems Analysis is only available at universities with self-designed degrees. In India, there is a BCA in Computer Systems Analysis, but this degree triggers an RFE because it is a three-year Bachelor’s degree. The only degree we have seen not trigger an RFE for this job is a US Masters of Computer Systems Analysis. Again, this is also a relatively rare degree.

So what’s the problem?

Until about seven years ago, CIS approved the H1B visas of candidates with US Bachelor’s degrees in fields related to their H1B job without question. Now, the degree must be an EXACT match for the job title. With such an unusual degree, it is hard for anyone with a job in Computer Systems Analysis to have a US Bachelor’s degree that is an exact match.

If your or your employee or client’s H1B job is Computer Systems Analysis, chances are you will need a credential evaluation to preempt or to answer an RFE. If you or your employee or client has an Indian BCA in Computer Systems Analysis, a professor authorized to issue college credit for work experience can write a work experience conversion that turns three years of progressive work experience in the field of Computer Systems Analysis into one year of college credit to account for the missing fourth year. If you or your employee or client has a degree in a related field, a work experience conversion of this kind, along with a close examination of the coursework involved in the degree to emphasize classwork in Computer Systems Analysis is needed.

Unless you or your employee or client has a US Masters of Computer Systems Analysis, don’t chance it. An RFE is not the end of the world, but it makes visa approval a whole lot harder, more expensive, more time-consuming, and more stressful.

Before you file or answer an RFE, let us provide a pre-evaluation with all of your options for free. Simply go to ccifree.com and submit all educational documents, a current, accurate resume, and indicate the job title or desired equivalency. We will get back to you within 24 hours with your pre-evaluation, a full analysis, and all of your options.

H1B Mystery Solved. The Job with Mismatched Education

Credential Evaluation, Immigration, Visa Approvals


This is the most common H1B qualified job with little, if any, exact matching education. Therefore, this is the #1 job offer that gets RFEs. No job title has as bad a track record with CIS.

At TheDegreePeople.com, we work with H1B cases and their RFEs on a regular basis. We have overturned virtually every education RFE for Computer Systems Analysis that has come to us. While the education on its own in invariably turned down by CIS, we can change the major to one that CIS accepts by adding work experience.

Since there are few, if any, actual degrees that match the job Computer Systems Analysis close enough to avoid an RFE, the evaluation needed must take a different approach. We have rarely seen a Bachelor’s degree program that offers a specialization in Computer Systems Analysis, and for the ones that do, it tends to be a self-designed major.

Computer Systems Analysis may be the most common mismatch, but it’s not the only one. If you or your employee or client has a degree that does not match the H1B job, simply go to ccifree.com and submit a current, accurate resume and educational documents, and let us know the candidate’s job. We will get back to you within 24 hours with a pre-evaluation and full analysis of your situation and your evaluation options.

CIS accepts that three years of progressive work experience in the candidate’s field of employ is the equivalent of one year of college credit towards a US Bachelor’s degree in that major, but only when signed off on by a professor who is authorized to issue college credit for work experience. Throughout this work, the candidate must have taken on progressively more responsibility and specialized skills and expertise on the job, proving that specialized education occurred o the job. This is naturally occurring in virtually any job. If you or your employee or client has years of progressive work experience in the field of Computer Systems Analysis, or whatever job title is offered, a credential evaluation that converts work experience into college credit to combine with the education the candidate already has will fill in the gap between the degree and the job offer.

This conversion must be written by a college or university professor with the authority to grant college credit for work experience. At TheDegreePeople.com, we ALWAYS have professors who can do this on hand for these kinds of situation.

If you or your employee or client has a degree that does not match the H1B job, simply go to ccifree.com and submit a current, accurate resume and educational documents, and let us know your client’s job. We will get back to you within 24 hours with a pre-evaluation and full analysis of your situation and your evaluation options.
