H1B denied education background

[ranji123]

Hi

 

I have a Masters in Chemistry and have been working as a software engineer for 3 years on H1B.

 

I had  maternity break and applied for a new H1B petition (cap exempt as I holded a H1B) and this was denied.

 

My company want to re-apply new H1B petition and I want to know the risks ? Do I get flagged/ bad record if I have mutlitple H1B denials ?

 

What would be the best way to re-apply ? I have 16 credits during my masters which was all computational chemistry and programming and my Professor/Dean can provide evidence. But would this be sufficient

 

Do I need to take up 15 credits Computer science certififcation from accredited university/extension colleges

 

Thanks for your help

You will not get a new H1B approved as your educational qualification is not related to your profession (software engineer). Any number of petition would result in denial. Wait for other members opinion.

How can you be doing coding when you have done your specialization in Chemistry?

Another petition will make your case worst. Try to get into the related field.

Thing s won't change.Because the reason for denial is your educational BG and now if you file for new H1 it will be the same educational BG.

 

Better to consult an attorney.

You need to have a degree in the specialty. You don't have a CS degree, therefore it is pretty much impossible to get an H1 for CS work.

Find an employer in the field of your degree.

I think you need a better lawyer

You havent mentioned that you were in MS category for H1 or not

Assuming not, if USCIS approved 3 yrs ago, a good lawyer can use it to your advantage.
