Hi,

I have a 3 yr diploma in Mechanical engineering (Bombay, India) and a BE in Chemical engineering from university of Bombay (India). However After completing Diploma one gets admitted to the second year directly when starting your BE course (First year is waived).

My I-140 has been filed a couple of months ago in the EB2 category and it is at NSC.

I have over 10 years of work exp.

Just Curious to know if anybody else has Diploma and degree in engineering?

what are the chances of RFE on education? Will the NSC understand this?

Any Advice is appreciated.


Regards,

Smog

It should be OK. Because basically the Engeering degree in India is awarded at the end of 16 years.
All they check is whether you had 16 years of education before getting the graduation. It does not matter if it 10 + 2 + 4 or 10 + 3+ 3.

There is single degree problem in your case
 
Hi Tammy2,

Please clarify what single degree problem means. Mine is a 4 year BE engineering course. I got enrolled directly into year 2 because of my diploma.

Thanks,

Yes that is correct. As it is said above since you have 16 years of education it should not matter. Do not go by 4-year degree and 3 year degree rhetoric. It is really matter of 16 years education or not.
Most probably You will get approval without RFE,

It is pity that some people have made it moneymaking business out of this scare.

Are you saying no diploma holder has ever got GC in USA ? it seem strange !!

What if the job requirement in labor says " no degree with couple yrs exp" and labor is approved !!! will it still be an issue ? why cann't it be approved in skill catageory !!

UN -- any comment here ?
 
mGupta,

It all depends on what is mention in your Labor. It is a crucial aspect. Also, trust me when I say this, Having a good knowledgeable lawyer is very very very very important along with a good educational evaluation.

Most of the denials are lawyer goof ups. So check you section 14 and 15 of ETA and see what is mentioned.

Single degree problem comes because some degrees are issued at the end of 15 years. e.g B.A. ,B.Sc, B.COM. So people usually add one year courses or M.A. M.Sc etc to show it the equivalent 16 years of education. The problem here the degree was issued at the end of 15 years not after 16 years as in with most U.S. degrees. Problem comes mainly because not using proper wording during the Labor certification or Substitute Labors. Some people came out with solution of showing that last three years of education is equivalent of 4 years of US education.
This is happening particular with NSC. TSC is quite linient with this. I have not seen this is working with Nebraska.


But in your case case your degree is essentially a four year degree. One year you got the exemption because you studied one year extra during your diploma. So you got you degree at end of 16 years and your University says this degree is conferred at the end of 16 years. So you should not have the problem.

Mgupta2050,

What does the column 14 and 15 say in your ETA 750A form. If it says, no degree required with few years experience, I think you should not have any problem in getting your I-140 approved. I know one of my friend with 10+3year Diploma in Electroncis Engineering from India got his GC few years ago.

mgupta2050,

Based on the requirement in your ETA-750A form, you should not have any issues in getting your I-140 approved. You are due for your approval anytime soon. The current processing time is 05/30/2006 - NSC EB3

The current processing time for NSC-EB3 is 05/30/2006. It means the applications with a received date upto 05/30/2006 are being processed.

I am bit confused here about your date of filing. Is it 05/25 or 05/05? If it was 05/05, you should call NSC and find out about your case. Because NSC was processing applications with a received date of 05/08 a month ago. What does your case number start with? Please don't specify the last four digits.
