Hello everyone, :confused:

I have received an RFE on my I-140 petition (Vermont) requesting new credential evaluation with my education alone. The earlier evaluation also included my work experience. I have a BE (Electronics) degree and an MBA. I spoke with TrustForte and they cannot certify my qualifications to be equivalent to a bachelor's in Computer science. Foundation for international services Inc. says they will get an expert's opinion. AUAP Credential evaluation service (www.auap.com) say they can certify. Has any of you used AUAP Credential evaluation service before? If yes, did USCIS accept their evaluations?

Please suggest any other credential evaluation company if you think they are reputable with the USCICS and can help in such situations.

Appreciate your responses.

Thank you.

VKR2002,
was your case filed in EB2 category ? What does your approved labor says in section 14 ?? does it have the magic word "equivalent" mentioned in it ??
if yes then your attorney may also argue on the basis of the recent verdict given by Federal court in Oregon. Court made it very clear that in EB3 category, experience and degree can be combined to establish the equivalency if the Labor specifically mention the word "Equivalent". Therefore an actual degree is not required for EB3 cases. Also if a candidate doesn't fall into Eb2 category then he should also be considered in EB3 category. Court asked the USCIS to approve the plaintiff's (A korean guy) I140 petition after it was denied several times by the agency...

Go to www.immigratin-law.com and check the detail at "Impact of Grace Korean United Methodist Church Case on Potential Opportunity for Motion to Reopen of Previous Denials on This Issue" in Breaking News..


what do you think UN ? how is it going to affect the people with 3 year degree and experience combination ? could you please comment on the above ?

Thanks much....
 
I am trying to use a sub labor: sec 14 reads college degree required is bachelors or masters, in major field of study:nothing is mentioned and related occupation reads progg analyst. I had done my education+experience evaluation done and i got bachelors in science degree in computer sci.
my question is would this evaluation be considered as it has both edu and work exp.
 
getanswer2,
if "Equivalent" is not mentioned then it might create some problems for you later on...try getting an equivalent evaluation based only on your degree. if you could get it then it should be allright.
 
Thank you GCTARGET06

Hello GCTARGET06,

Thank you for the info. I am trying to get in touch with my company's immigration coordinator to obtain the information on Section 14 of the ETA750A or the education requirements in the certified labor.

I am hoping to hear from them that the word 'equivalent' was used.
I have received assurance from thedegreepeople.com that they will be
able to provide education evaluation stating an equivalent degree in
computer science. I am hoping USCIS will accept their evauation.
Will keep you posted.

Thank you,

Hello GCTARGET06

GCTARGET06,

I fall in the EB3 category and I am hoping the the USCIS will be lenient.
My company's immigration coordinator says that the law-firm is getting
the evaluation done and will respond, but have no more details yet.

Thank you,

Education evaluation issue.

Gurus/United Nations,

I have 3 year(BSc )+2 year(Msc )+1 year(Mphil ) degree in India. My major is Physics with Electonics specilization. 10 years experience before joining this company.

My labor job requirement is "Bachelors in Computer science or related field". I talked to my lawyer about the missing of word "equivalency". He said since I have masters degree it is not an issue. My labor is in blacklog. CA/RIR/EB3

Please advice:
- Am I ok?

- If not, is it advisable to get my current labor amended?

- Or is it advisable to get the new labor as a bakcup?

- During I-140 filing, should I give the educational evaluation for US Bachelors in Computer Science equivalence or to US Masters in Physics(Electronics minor) equivalence ?

Thanks in advance.
