Why this RFE happens
- The petition describes current job duties more clearly than the proposed endeavor.
- Letters focus on employer value, revenue, staffing, or customer delivery without explaining field-level or public-interest impact.
- Evidence shows capability, but not why the endeavor has national importance beyond a private workplace.
Evidence that can move the argument beyond one employer
- Independent field adoption, standards, users, pilots, grants, publications, policy references, or market records.
- A clean explanation of the population, industry, infrastructure, health, safety, technology, education, or economic problem the endeavor addresses.
- Letters that separate the applicant’s role from the employer’s internal business goal and explain broader consequences.
How to frame the response
- Start with the exact RFE concern and avoid repeating a generic job-description narrative.
- Map exhibits to Dhanasar prong one and prong two: national importance, applicant positioning, and implementation path.
- Use employer documents carefully: they can support feasibility, but should not make the case look like PERM or ordinary employment sponsorship.
