I had the same a couple couple of months ago. Was able to justify it using my qualifications. Advisory here. Follow the format that PwC lawyers provide you.

P3 - Glad to hear that. Happy for you!

Yeah, ofcourse justifying that should not be a problem. It’s just that i dont have much faith in the process given the current situation for for H1B holders

Are you in advisory or audit? Also what SOC code was used to apply for the extension?

@c1 i’m in assurance
What do you mean by SOC here?

I got weird RFE- justify specialty occupation needed for client work. I tell you USCIS these days. 🤦‍♀️

Did you guys attach screenshot/readacted code or anything for additional evidence? How long was the process after you sent your docs back to the pwc team?
