I work for the university and my LC has a filing date 11 April, 07. The university filed my I 140 in April 07 based on the aprroved LC. My I 140 was filed in the EB2 which was a wrong category because my job doesn't require masters degree. So I got denial on my first I 140 in April, 08 because of the wrong category.
The university reapplied my I 140 in EB3 category in May, 08 but got denial second time in Feb, 09 saying my LC is expired because my LC is more than 180 days old.
What are my options now? Do I need to start the PERM process again? Or can I reopen my second I 140 denial case saying my LC is still valid because I used it for my first I 140? On the USCIS website it is mentioned that if the LC is used with the I 140 within the 180 days then the LC never gets expired and it can be used for other I 140 also. I did use my approved LC during my first I 140. Can I go with this option?
Please help me. I appreciate your guidance.
Thank you for your time.
