Vardha88 Posted May 2, 2019 Report Posted May 2, 2019 I am on F1 visa and working in STEM OPT which will expire on June 12th. I work for a institution of higher education as a database engineer. My cap exempt H1B application got denied on May 24th after RFE. The reason for the denial is stated as not holding the education required for the position. USCIS states that Database Administrators usually have a "degree in an information- or computer-related subject, such as computer science." I filed with my Bachelor's degree in Electronics and Biomedical Engineering. I received an RFE in Feb questioning the academic qualification. The attorney responded in a time manner with evidences (expert opinion, mapping courses etc.). I now have my Master's degree in Biomedical Informatics. We are working on filing the H1B for the second time with my Master's degree. Any opinion on relevant documentation to convince USCIS that Biomedical informatics is a information related field and is accepted for database administrator positions? (other than mapping the courses to job responsibilities) Thanks!
