Hi all! I am former federal government. I resigned due to lack of opportunities and growth. I am interested in a couple of Apple service roles within Pay, Care and SDS. Also, Amazon PM roles under Music, Live Sports and Brand Protection. However, with to the current economic conditions is it smarter to focus on fed roles versus Tech. I’ve never had a Tech role. I have a BS Mechanical Engineering and MBA. Any advice would be appreciated.

MBA is not “specialty” enough in the sense that all American students can go get an MBA
Ask your lawyer to help. It depends on your job profile

USCIS doesn’t care if u r MBA from Top10 😒. Their criteria (Randomize 80% (If H1 then issue RFE)) 🤩🤦♂️😬🤣
Definitely talk to your lawyer first and see how to demonstrate it. I would assume it needs some help from your boss as well to lay out your job responsibilities and how it would relate to your degree. But I would definitely follow the lawyer’s lead.
My background is different (CPA with Masters in Accounting from US univ) but here is the process I followed. I provided a detailed explanation how each of my grad school courses directly affected my job. Also got a letter from the University dean and Service Line Partner/Director stating the specialised knowledge gained and required by the job respectively. I believe based on these documents, the law firm contracted a professional to formulate a response to USCIS.
What is your primary job function and what was your major (If your school doesn’t do majors, which type of classes did you pick most)?
Will help us understand the problem.

Reread what you’ve just said and see how uscis is supposed to figure the link out on their own
I am a management consultant focusing on operations improvement (cost cutting, op model design etc).
Undergrad was economics.
Your undergrad is not relevant here.
USCIS looks at your MBA and your job.
MBA is a highly susceptible target for RFE.
Sorry op, but are you guys still hiring? I am actually looking for a job at this moment as my current company is going to lay off 80% of the team and only have the SM levels left. I came from public accounting but have experience in operations and corp finance, especially in the PE and technology industries. Thanks!
I am at PwC too! What practice are you in?
Which service center?
After 15 years of experience and progression to SM, I got an RFE on an h-1b amendment for travel to a third party location. They asked me to Justify how my MBA education which was 17 years ago was relevant to the job I do. I had to go through a detailed matching of my courses from the transcript and the relevance of those to what I do. I also added the list of about 600 hours of continuing education that I have done during my time at the firm. The amendment was eventually approved. It’s ridiculous.
I am so sorry for this. I really hope this country could understand that high skilled immigrants are super beneficial for this country in so many ways so America should stop frustrating us
It’s a standard ask from USICS
MBA is not speciality
