I140 RFE for experience letters - please advise

Here is the exact wording from RFE.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The work experience letters submitted regarding the beneficiary’s employment at Company A and Company B were apparently written by co-workers rather than by the employer. As such, the documents are of limited evidentiary value, and the evidence does not establish that the beneficiary had complied with the work requirements of form ETA-750 at the time the priority date was established.

The petitioner must submit evidence that the beneficiary had obtained the required two years of experience in the job offered before November XX, XXXX. Evidence of experience must be in the form of letter(s) from the current or former employer(s) giving the name, address and title of the employer and a description of the experience of the alien, including specific dates of the employment and specific dates.

These two companies went out of business and I can't seem to trace anyone expect one guy who worked with me at that time. I did submitted the letter from co-worker (not notarized) and INS is not happy with that. When I submitted my application,I did not mention that fact that these companies do not exist anymore.

How do I handle this situation? did any one had similar experience?
Please advise....:confused:
 
zots,

I am in the same boat. I had submitted my experience letter from a co-worker who was working with me during the period. The company xyz doesn't exist. I have a very similar letter from BCIS. I am still talking to my attorney about this.

Let me know if you have more info on this.
 
which BCIS?

Zots,

Can you please provide which EB category and which location you filed from?

I have filed with EB2 in CA and I have a received the RFE too. I dont know what the RFE is about right now.

Thanks.
 
I submitted copy of the letters

I did not know at the time to submit original copies that are notarized.

Does INS accept letters with an affidavit?

I have filed in EB3 - Michigan

Is the notorized copy required only for exp letters from co-workers or should copy of empl. letters from the company has to be notorized too?
