H1B doubt.

I have recently accepted an SDE (ML) role with Alexa AI. I wanted to know if it would be an issue at the time of my H1 stamping given my masters is in analytics/machine learning and the role stating as SDE. However, the work that I would be doing is completely related to machine learning except for the title not conveying this. Should I be worried about this?

The lawyers will take care of it. They will craft a job description that fits all this.

The VO will approve as soon as they see your employer name. Don't worry

For machine learning you might get approval in USA but your port of entry or visa stamping might get denied for sure outside of USA

It should not be an issue. Consular officers will not refuse H-1B stamping unless there is evidence of fraud or serious error of USCIS in approving your petition. In your case, this is just normal USCIS discretion so it will not be re-litigated.
