How the specialty occupation analysis works

01 · The posting

One question to answer

USCIS approves a specialty occupation only when the role requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field. It starts with your job description.

02 · The requirement

The degree, pinned to the role

When duties read as generic, adjudicators push back. The expert pins your role's minimum entry requirement to a specific specialty.

03 · The analysis

Duty by duty, in their language

Each core duty is tied to the specialized coursework it draws on — addressing the specific language adjudicators use.

04 · The verdict

Specialty occupation — confirmed

A signed expert analysis from a professor who teaches the specialty, ready for your H-1B filing or RFE response.

The question every H-1B petition must answer

“Does this role require at least a bachelor’s degree in a specific specialty?”

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.
