Build an H-1B specialty occupation argument

This page lists three turns, the messages you send to the AI one after another in the same chat, and then a check of the answer. Keep it open next to your chat. Each turn shows the next thing to paste, with the values you entered already filled in. Nothing is sent from this page, and your conversation stays in the AI tool you are using.

The job title and the exact degree requirement the employer will assert, including field.

The manager's description of what the person does, with rough percentages. Not the job posting.

Where it goes, what kind of petition it is, and the date you need it assembled.

Size, industry, where the role sits, and what the employer's own record shows about the requirement.

SOC code, wage level, offered wage, and worksite as certified; the draft checks these against the letter.

Paste the current regulatory and policy text you pulled yourself. Leave blank and the draft will tell you what to pull rather than quoting from memory.

Watch for these throughout

  • The specialty occupation regulation and the Policy Manual chapters interpreting it have been rewritten more than once in recent years. Pull the current text yourself and paste it in. Do not let the model recite criteria from memory.
  • The Occupational Outlook Handbook entry is often the officer's first stop and it cuts both ways. Read the actual entry before quoting it, and never rely on a quotation the model produces.
  • A Level I wage on the certified LCA against a letter describing complex independent judgment is one of the most common contradictions officers flag. Check the LCA as certified, not as intended.
  • A support letter that overstates duties creates a record the employer lives with at a site visit, at extension, and in any later filing. Confirm every duty with the manager before it goes out.
  • Do not paste the employer's confidential compensation or personnel records unless the client's engagement terms and your firm's AI policy permit it.
