H1-B visa ,Has anyone changed from Analyst profile to Engineer profile while on H1B ? Currently on OPT , got two attempts of lottery left but often intimidated by thoughts of choosing the line of profession. Of late , I have been developing genuine interest to being an Engineer than a data analytics/data science professional. The regulations say that one can switch from employer to employer while on H1 but can we switch job codes on transfer ?
I moved from PM to Dev within the same employer aftee years on H1. You may get an RFE, but as long as your degree kinda matches it's good. Not sure about your specific situation.
Thanks Fannie . Well bachelor's in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Masters in Information Systems with software dev experience , data science experience (data engineer work is coupled to it ) and some quality engineer doing python scripting .
Is it your first H1? I did w MS in mechanical, however luckily have many computer related courses. You will have some too. Still expect an RFE. I got mine approved for 3 years.
