The question every H-1B petition must answer

USCIS approves a specialty occupation only when the role requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field. When job duties read as generic, adjudicators push back — often with a Request for Evidence.

An independent expert letter answers with authority, mapping what you actually do to the degree the work demands.

  • Written by professors who teach the specialty
  • Grounded in your actual job description and documents
  • Addresses the specific language adjudicators use
