Following is the RFE that I received for new H1b. I have applied in the general quota with premium processing. Can anyone guide me what I have to do to get my H1b approved. 

 

Specialty Occupation

 

The RFE requests evidence to confirm that the Beneficiary’s position is a “specialty occupation,” one requiring a Bachelor’s degree or above.  To address this request, we will need the following: 

 

-          Expanded job description

o   Preferred format attached. Please complete and return to us.

-          Expert Opinion Evaluation

 

   Record of Advertisements for Similar Positions Requiring a Bachelor’s Degree

o   Please provide any examples of advertisements recently placed by (employer's) for “Software Programmer” and similar positions which require a Bachelor’s degree or above.

 

-          Record of Prior Employees in Similar Positions requiring a Bachelor’s Degree

o   Please provide the name of 3-4 (employer's) employees employed in similar positions with similar requirements.  If our firm did not file the H-1B for these employees, please provide a copy of their H-1B Petitions. 

o   Please provide pay records (W-2s, Pay Stubs, and Quarterly Wage Reports) that indicate the rate of pay for these employees.

This is work for your attorney. He/she will do the necessary. Stop worrying.

I had the same RFE when I applied for 7 th year extension based on my Perm and my Lawyer submitted an Expert Opinion Evaluation and I recieved my approval yesterday. 

 

It looks H1 RFEs are getting common but luckily majority of them are getting approved.
