My spouse is working at J C Penney Texas as a Product Analyst. This year her application was selected in h1b. However, she received rfe for speciality occupation reason. Unfortunately her lawyer had filed category ‘Softwares Developer’ with SOC code as 15-1132 with wage level 1. She has done bachelors in CS and masters in MIS. Is anyone aware of/faced such scenario? I don’t trust her lawyer/attorney. Any leads as to what to do as next step?
You don't have a choice but to trust the lawyers.
You don't trust the lawyers? Do you think they will take any advice from you or someone outside?
Dont trust the lawyers to do anything correctly. Always review the petition personallt
Why do you think lawyers screwed up the case. Software developer category is the best one to go with to even have a chance in this case. Wage level depends on what she is making and what’s the salary for that level in the area. You can’t go with wage level 2 if the salary for that level in the area is more than what she is making.
They are challenging it because of the salary since it's at wage level 1. You have to have a very strong response to the RFE in terms of why the job is complex and specialized.
Can you refer an immigration lawyer?
Sheila murthy law firm is good. Emily Neumann is good as well. Cyrus Mehta is a very good one. You will have to sit and brainstorm together with them since you will be retaining them. Get the RFE copy and work with them
What does wage level 1 mean? And why is it a problem?
Do you have the RFE with you ? Did her lawyers shared that ? If not, no other law firm would be able to help you. If you can score it, they might review your roles and responsibilities documents but nothing more. Its mostly your responsibility to write a complex job duties documents and make it sound “speciality occupation”
Did you get this resolved
