muchadus said:yes . my labor has "BS" and I have 4 years of combination of degrees. I know they will deny the other one as well. But just wanted to make sure about the options I was thinking.
muchadus said:it was eb3
column 14 on LC : BS
I do not have US BS degree. I have 3 years of Bachelor of arts (india)+ Post graduate diploma in computers (india) of 1 year. they denied based on that as per column 14, i should have only USA BS degree.
totally screwed up. was new to this country when they filed my LC and I just rely on what attorney said.
I dont think you have much chance but many people have tried and some have got approved with 3 year degree and something else making equivalency (only for EB3 category). I think the wording in labor is important and how the actual degree is related to the skill requirement in labor is also important.muchadus said:it was eb3

muchadus said:I just found some interesting information
1. the forwarding letter of ETA-750 /LC
2. Job notice published by company for my GC
3. Job advt for my GC
All of the above 3 are having "Bachelors degree with 2 years of experience". Only column 14 in ETA-750 has "BS". I guess I can use that as a ground to argue about "employer's intention was to hire somebody with bachelors degree with 2 years of experience and whatever is in ETA-750 was a clerical mistake"
what do you say about the chances on MTR?

Unlike in India, the US Bachelors degree can only be education of 4 years. Unless your labor says that the employer will accept Bachelors Degree or its equivalent, you cannot prove equivalency to US Bachelors with a 3 year indian Bachelor and 1 year experience etc. The issue is not the experience over here, but the degree itself.muchadus said:I just found some interesting information

Also claiming that it was a critical mistake in the labor filing stage, will not give you a right to a immigrant visa. The USCIS will ask you to get the mistake corrected from state DOL in the labor and that can take years. Better approach it to file a new labor in PERM (if that is an option).
GC Guy said:Does this mean BS with 3 years degree from India + 1 year of software course can not apply for GC even in EB3 category? If they can then what is it that needs to be mentioned in LC? in column 14 and other places?
laborApprooval said:This was not the issue before in the vermont centre but now they are getting strict with this.
My attorney said he recently saw 2 cases being denied on the basis of combined degree.
