I-140 Denied My I-140 has been denied. EB-3 Labor Substitution INS Says: Education does not match what was stated on the original AEC. Original AEC: BS in CS/CE/EE or RELATED DEGREE I have: Equivalent of BS in CIS (eval from two different sources) MBA I guess I was just...

No luck yet

However on a brighter note, I would say look at the posts on this forum. We will see some very encouraging posts from folks working for small, bankcrupt companies with no obvious ability to pay wages getting I-140 petitions approved. Folks who clearly did not meet the education and experience...

In addition to Jim's Post: I have seen this and am a victim of this system. In my experience a Bachelors degree is not sufficient, but also has to be in the specifed field as stated on the LC. This is also "VERY" important. So for eg, if a LC states a BS in CS, then one cannot have a BS in...

Hi abcd_123_xyz, Quick questions: 1) Was this a labor substitution? 2) Did you LC allow the use of Expericen + Education? Thanks.

Hi abcd_123_xyz This is the nicest thing I have heard in sometime. Aap ke moo mae "ghee shakkar", if you know what I mean. I hope what you say comes true :)

Sorry to hear that Aprilfool2. I know how it feels to go thru these emotions. However look on the bright side, atleast it is over with and you can move on with your life. Maybe try different avenues to get a GC. BTW, I think this whole GC situation sucks. Some applicants get their GC even...

Hi Aprilfool2, Do you know why your I-140 was denied. Was is due to financial issues or some other issues, like education or experience. 1)Was this Eb2 or Eb3 2) Was this an original labor or labor substitution? Can you appeal, did they give you some time to appeal the decision. Thanks

You can ask the university to issue a letter syaing that you had met all the requirements for the MS degree as of 7/99. I think the letter should help in convincing the INS that you were technically done and just delayed graduation. Yes, they check the date of diploma as of the date you were...

Hello dananthak. After the I-140 approval you can file your I-485, which will allow you to apply for your EAD card, if you have already done so. You can then work on your EAD card, this your I-485 is approved. Thus, you don't require a H1 extension to work as you are going to file for...

If your MS is CS or related then it should be OK.

Hee Haw--Congrats Phew. This is really very good news for all of us. There is justice at the BCIS looks like and sometimes intelligent people make decisions. I am very happy for you. I hope this is a start of a good luck charm for all us who received RFE's :D BTW, was the RFE a "Request...

AEC is Labor Certification.

Hi Tito9: I don't think the INS will accept any experience AT ALL unless explicitily stated on the AEC. Infact in my case, I got an eval done this way: 3 year degree (bcom) + 1 year US University Coursework in a community college which is 12 + 3 + 1 = 16 years and the eval said equivalency...
