HELPPPPPPP....filing for I140 & 485 Substitution.

[RAVICHAND1]

Hello,

My employer was willing to do a substituion labour for me, but I have few questions about the substitution.

1) The approved labour is of a person X with Electrical and Electronics Engineering (Bachelors - 16 years of education) degree and I am a Bachelor of Computer Science (15 years education ) and Master of Computer Application's (Masters - 18 years education) ....

can the labour be used for me? some one has suggested only use the Bachelors degree that I have? can I do that or will it cause problems? The minimum requirement that were specified while filing that labour was a Bachelors Degree with major field of study as Computer Science, Electronics Engineering or Math, with minimum experience 1 Year.

I have the same skill set as of the labour and the same number of years experience as of the person X. Has anyone had gone thru the same scenario? if yes what was your experience?

Thanks for all your help

Ravi.

Sounds good, you don't need to show your master, it's irrelavant

You may need masters

Bachelors here is 16 years of education ( 4 year degree ) and I am sure you must have received ur. H1 visa on teh basis of Masters degree which gives u 5 years of post HS education.

I am sure your Lawyer would use your Masters and Bachelors together to make up the shortfall of one year.

Anyway you are fine. With 3 year degree if a RFE comes up u can reply with masters or apply with masters directly. It looks OK to me..
