Substitute labor is not a big deal. As long as the qualifications match and the labor has not been approved too many years back, everythng should work out. My company (a indian body shopper) does that a lot. My case is also a labor substitution. My case has not been approved, but several friends from my company have got theirs approved on substitue labor.RoaringBull said:Well, what is the success rate of the LC substitute cases in general ?

The other thing is if the labor is approved in 1998 with a designation X, then the person with same qualifications as of 1998 but having the same deisgnation 6 years down the line .. it is a little difficult to swallow. I am not saying that it will not work out, but may require more documentation and scrutiny.an_anonymous said:There is no expiry date for a approved LC. The only issue with a very old LC is that the person for whom this will be substituted should have those experience and qualifications matched on the date the LC was filed. This sometimes becomes little difficult.
For Example: If there is a LC which was approved in 1998 for a candidate with MS or BS plus 5 years, then if it has to be used today for another individual XYZ, this XYZ should have had MS or BS plus 5 years as of 1998. Hope this answers your question.
Otherwise, there are no risks involved.
