United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) reviews all supporting documentation submitted with an H-1B transfer petition, which typically includes a resume or curriculum vitae (CV). This detailed work history documentation provides evidence of the beneficiary’s qualifications and experience, helping USCIS assess whether the beneficiary meets the requirements for the H-1B visa classification and the specific job offered by the petitioning employer.
Thorough documentation strengthens the petition and demonstrates compliance with immigration regulations. A well-prepared resume showcasing relevant experience aligned with the offered position increases the likelihood of a successful petition outcome. While there is no explicit statutory requirement to submit a resume, its inclusion offers valuable context and substantiates the claims made within the petition, ultimately contributing to a more efficient adjudication process. This practice has become standard over time as it facilitates a more comprehensive understanding of the beneficiary’s qualifications for USCIS adjudicators.
