Hi Gurus,
I need some help and this place has served best in past, so here is my situation:
I got RFE on my 140 (Vermont center) requesting for credential evaluation. Now my 140 is filled under what used to be EB3 category.
I think the lawyer sent a bad credential report to INS, and I am going to get the "intention to Deny" or "Denial" on my I-140.
Lawyer obtained the credential report from some company and replied the RFE to INS without consulting me. Damn! He had till Oct 14th to reply.
I think the question I am trying to ask is; Is it acceptable to INS to show one degree (4 year Bachelor's in electronics) and experience equivalent to Bachelor's in computer science and Information tech for an EB3 case)?
Here are more details about the evaluation report that is sent to INS.
* My 4 year of B.sc. Eng in electronics is credited towards 3 year of Bachelor's degree in computer science from a accredited college/Uni. in USA.
* He totally ignorers my M. Tech (electronics and comm.).
* He deemed my 5 year 11 months of experience to 1 year and 11 months of academic course work towards Bachelor's in computer science from accredited college in USA ( experience is some how counted wrong and it should have been 6 1/2 years).
* Miss spelt my "Masters" as "Mater" all over the report (I guess that's why he missed it because his software did not recognize it)
* Over all Based on 4 years Engg. in Electronics, "Mater" of Technology from IIT Kgp and 5 year 11 months of progressive experience, Mr. myself has equivalent of Bachelor's in computer science and information technology from accredited college in USA (Wow!..Impressive)
As per lawyer he thinks Bachelor equivalent is all INS is looking for.
But looking at all the discussions available in here, articles on murthy.com and my “Luck”, I guess I am doomed. I don't think INS officer is going to like the fact that experience is used towards Bachelor's degree. It seems that it is more appropriate to use more then one degree together to show Bachelor's degree.
So I got a feeling in next few days or week I am going to get the "Intention to deny” status on my I-140.
I want to know what my options are:
* Does INS always use the status "Intention to deny" and give some more time to follow up on the application or just "deny" it in first shot?
* Should I ask lawyer to do a preemptive follow-up on the reply of RFE or wait till something happens? I am just worried at that point it might be too late.
* Is Status of "Intention to Deny" is open status or at that point it is pretty much denied unless something really changes.
I am pretty sure if I send for another evaluation with some other company, or even the same (ask them to read it properly) I will get a better evaluation.
Any feedback is welcomed (at this point I don’t even mind the abusive replies )
Thanks,
Me, Myself and my Irony
