Not really. Just because someone got approved it does not mean that you have to get approved too. It does not work like that. You can not put forth your argument to USCIS in this way. When they go for extension or visa stamping they might face trouble. You can try if you want to. Talk to an immigration attorney to be clear about immigration laws.
omshiv Posted September 24, 2013 Report Posted September 24, 2013 you might get RFE...be prepared to answer that.

You can, but you have to show USCIS has you have enough knowledge, education or work experience from that field.
