While specialty occupation, wage level, and employer-employee issue RFEs have dominated discussions since 2017, the traditional 3-Year Degree H-1B RFE remains a persistent challenge. H-1B beneficiaries with 3-year bachelor's degrees earned outside the United States consistently receive RFEs and Denials for the missing fourth year of college. Even though the Indian 3-year bachelor's degree contains the same – if not greater – amount of classroom contact hours as the US 4-year bachelor's degree, beneficiaries with this degree face the most significant challenges. The Critical Prevention Strategy
If you, your employee, or client possesses a 3-year bachelor's degree, the petition will encounter issues virtually every time unless you implement the one preventative step that proves effective. This involves submitting a credential evaluation with the initial petition that includes a work experience conversion to account for the missing fourth year of college. With the evaluation, three years of progressive work experience in the field of the H-1B job can be converted into one year of college credit towards a major in that field, provided the evaluation is written by a professor with the authority to issue college credit for work experience. Understanding Progressive Work Experience
For work experience to be considered progressive, it must demonstrate that throughout the duration of the job, the nature of the beneficiary's work became increasingly complex with increasingly specialized skills. This shows that education and professional development occurred on the job. The appropriate credential evaluation must consider the job, the education, and the specific requirements of H-1B visa regulations. If you contact a credential evaluation agency and they do not inquire about any one of these three factors, you should seek assistance elsewhere. Prevention vs. Response Strategy
Submitting a credential evaluation with a work experience conversion alongside the initial petition represents the most effective way to avoid these issues. If it's too late and you've already received the RFE, including this evaluation and work experience conversion with the response provides the best approach to get that RFE overturned. TheDegreePeople.com works with these cases every year, and their method of writing a credential evaluation with work experience conversion specifically designed for each beneficiary's unique situation proves effective virtually every time in getting RFEs overturned.
