GURUS,
I really appreciate your help on my case. I am worried that my I 140 will be denied.
Following are the details of the case.
Our company has 70 employees. I am working as a Java Developer. USCIS asked following things in RFE. Ability to pay, Tax Documents- Beneficiary and Education. I am very concerned about the Education part. I have Mechanical Engineering degree from an Indian University in 93. Got Sun certification for Java in 99.

In the RFE, they asked the following exactly.

--Start of the Education part of RFE--->

Education: Submit evidence to establish that the beneficiary possesses the education/training listed on the form ETA 750 (Application for Alien Employment Certification). Evidence of education/training should be submitted on the institution's official letterhead or stationary indicating the courses taken and the credits received, and any conference of certificates or degrees. If a baccalaureate degree is required, submit a copy of the official college or university transcript. The diploma must be in a form of an official college or university record showing the date the baccalaureate degree was awarded and the area of concentration of study. Foreign documents must be accompanied by a certified English translation

Note: part A of form ETA indicates the petitioner requires at least a United states Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering or related. The petitioner previously submitted evidence of Mechanical Engineering that is not related to the offered position as a Java developer. The petitioner is requested to submit evidence of the beneficiary to demonstrate that the beneficiary’s qualification met the requirements
<-- End of the Education part of RFE ---------

I have the copy of Application for Alien Employment Certification (Form ETA 750). It says the following thing exactly for the Field 14.

Start -->

14. State in detail the Minimum Education , training and experience for a worker to perform satisfactory the job duties described in item 13 above.

Education : (Bold letters were entered by our company)

College : 4
College Degree Required (Specify) : Bachelors
Major field of Study : C.S., Engineering or related

<---- End

Did you submit Education evaluation certificate saying that your B.E is equivalent to US Bachelor's degree when you submitted your I-140? If not get one soon and send it along with your RFE reply.

Since in your ETA form, you have C.S, Engineering or RELATED, you have a strong case to prove that you are qualified for the position. The word 'RELATED' or 'Equivalent' in other cases must be explained clearly in your reply to RFE. Also since you have Sun certification course, you can also add it to your Education evaluation certificate.

Keep us posted.

Good luck.
