What Is the H-1B Petition?

The H-1B petition consists of Form I-129 (Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker) with the H Classification Supplement, plus a specialty occupation support letter drafted by the employer. It is the most scrutinized employment-based nonimmigrant petition — USCIS issues RFEs on 20–30% of H-1B petitions, primarily for specialty occupation failures. SpaceLizit's AI reduces H-1B RFE rates to under 3%.

Common Errors That Cause RFEs / Denials

SpaceLizit catches all of these before you file.

Specialty occupation failure

USCIS officers challenge whether the job requires a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty field. Weak support letters that don't connect the job duties to specific degree requirements are the #1 H-1B RFE trigger.

LCA vs I-129 wage discrepancy

The LCA prevailing wage must match or exceed the actual wage offered on the I-129. Any discrepancy — even $1 — triggers an RFE or denial.

SOC code mismatch

The Standard Occupational Classification code on the LCA must align with the actual job duties described in the I-129. Mismatches trigger both USCIS and DOL scrutiny.

Itinerary issues for consulting/staffing placements

For IT consulting or third-party placement H-1Bs, USCIS requires a complete worksite itinerary. Missing or vague itineraries are a leading RFE trigger.

Degree-to-job nexus not established

The beneficiary's degree field must directly relate to the specialty occupation. Attorneys must explicitly argue the nexus — USCIS does not assume it.

How SpaceLizit Automates the H-1B Petition

Three steps from LCA to filing-ready petition package.

LCA sync & I-129 generation

SpaceLizit pulls the certified LCA directly from the DOL FLAG system, auto-populates the I-129 and H Supplement with LCA wage data, worksite information, and SOC code — and flags any wage discrepancy before filing.

AI support letter generation

SpaceLizit generates a specialty occupation support letter tailored to the specific SOC code, degree field, and job duties — arguing the degree-to-job nexus and addressing the top RFE patterns for that occupation. Attorneys review and sign.

Pre-filing RFE audit

SpaceLizit runs the complete petition package through its pre-filing audit: checking specialty occupation argument strength, itinerary completeness (for consulting placements), wage compliance, and SOC code consistency — outputting a risk score and flagged items for attorney review.

Frequently Asked Questions — H-1B Petition

What documents are needed for an H-1B petition?

The H-1B petition requires: the certified LCA from the DOL FLAG system, Form I-129 with H Supplement, employer's specialty occupation support letter, beneficiary's educational credentials (degree, transcripts, equivalency evaluation if needed), resume or CV, the employer's financial records (IRS 1040/1120, or annual report to demonstrate ability to pay), and any prior H-1B approval notices (for extensions). SpaceLizit auto-generates the complete checklist based on the specific case profile.

What is the most common reason H-1B petitions receive RFEs?

The specialty occupation challenge is the #1 H-1B RFE trigger — USCIS questions whether the position truly requires a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty. The second most common trigger is LCA wage discrepancies. SpaceLizit's AI addresses both: generating a strong specialty occupation support letter tailored to the SOC code, and automatically validating LCA wage against I-129 wage before filing.

How does SpaceLizit's H-1B support letter generation work?

SpaceLizit's AI analyzes the job description, SOC code, and degree field to generate a specialty occupation support letter that: (1) argues the position meets the specialty occupation definition under 8 CFR 214.2(h)(4)(ii), (2) maps specific job duties to required specialized knowledge, and (3) establishes the nexus between the beneficiary's degree field and the position. The letter is formatted to USCIS brief standards for attorney review and final approval.

Can SpaceLizit handle H-1B cap and cap-exempt petitions?

Yes. SpaceLizit handles both H-1B cap petitions (requiring lottery registration), cap-exempt petitions (for cap-exempt employers), H-1B extensions, amendments, and H-1B transfers. The system recognizes the filing type and adjusts required forms, fees, and checklist items accordingly.

Does SpaceLizit sync with the DOL FLAG system for LCA data?

Yes. SpaceLizit integrates with DOL FLAG to pull certified LCA data directly into the I-129 and H Supplement — eliminating the manual step of copying LCA information and the wage discrepancy errors that cause a significant portion of H-1B RFEs.
