AE01 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Hi - I'm working on EVC model and I'm going for the 7th year extension. I'm working with the same client for the past 4 years as a contractor. I have non-IT Masters degree (Masters in U.S in Mechanical Engineering) and I'm working currently as a Software Architect. I'm hearing lot of RFEs these days on - How education (non-IT masters/bachelors degree) relates to the IT Job you are doing. Can someone please advise on how to handle the above query if I come across ? also, I have 1 Year IT experience in India (worked for IBM) 7+ Years IT experience in U.S (After Masters) Link to comment
satya2k1 Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Your employer should address that RFE. Most importantly, submit evidence that your BE and MS in Mechanical Engg. is related to the job duties, If there is no either direct or indirect relation then be prepared for tough time.

NotAnAttorney Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 It's really tough with that education background.What's your attorney's strategy? Is the client anyway related to Manufacturing? Link to comment
sri_visa Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Hi guys... This is almost my kind of background, but i do have Masters in Computer Science in USA and working in USA since 11 years.

(11 years USA exp) Please advise friends. Link to comment
sri_visa Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 @AE01- So i can tell u some thing. Last week i went to Murthy office. There was a guy similar to your situation. He explained me this. 1. Application extension denied - Basis of Btech and Mtech in mechanical engineering. 2. Applied Again - Rejected again - Basis of attorney still did not convince the officer although client refiled with other documentation. 3. Applied Again - Approved - When client took some reco letters, professor opinions, the employee exp in usa of 11 years. The client is 60 B $ company IT industry. So totally i can tell you your ext would be a challenge but people gets approvals as i have been seeing. But ur case is not a cake walk. I strongly recommend to take full time and prepare all reco letters, expert opinions etc... Link to comment
AE01 Posted March 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 @sri_visa Thanks for your reply. Does Full Time with Client help in my case? Also, what are reco letters and expert opinions ? Where can I get those from and do I need to submit those as part of my extension application? Thanks in advance. Link to comment
