H1B Rejected. New Application. Same Employer

[klauz]

My recent H1B got rejected because our client contract did not have a detailed level job description. We had clearly mentioned that my employer defines the duty and not the client but USCIS ignored the statement.

Now we are thinking of submitting a new application instead of submitting MTR. Is this a good idea?

Also my employer has agreed that I do not have to travel. I can take a senior role which will involve competency and business development. This way I can work entirely from my employer's office and will be able to convince USCIS that my duties are defined by my employer.

Any advice?

Its better to go for a new H1, MTR takes time.

When did you receive the denial, Was it for H1 extension ?

Thanks cooldude76. I got denial on Sep 30th. What worries me is that same employer is submitting a new application when the first one got denied. We will be extra careful and put a strong case but still....

Anyone have any additional suggestion.

All the very best. Maybe your employer should file the new H1 at a different center(other than the one where your H1 was denied).
