Legal Question in Immigration Law in Massachusetts

Re: H1B question

The success of the applicaiton will primarily depend upon the employers typical requirements and the job description. Key in this would be items such as - did the position advertisment require a degree when you applied?

If you would like to discuss your options further you may contact my office by email or telephone.

My best wishes.

Re: H1B question

There is no such thing as a "list" of approved professional postions for H1-B.

You will have to show that the position requires a bachelors degree to be satisfactorily filled and that the applicant has such a degree in the field of expertise required for the position.

The employer has a fair amount of flexibility in determining when a bachelor degree is required. However, in all cases the burden of proof is on the employer.

I had success in several petition for accountants. Insurance adjuster will be tougher in my opinion as it is not traditionally a "profession". Expect a Request for Evidence after the petition is filed and to fight it out with the examiner on your response. However, I do think it is possible.

The other issue to be considered will be the H1-B cap and when to file the petion to ensure maximum chances of success (ASAP).
