Hi,
I have my LC approved under EB2/RIR recently. I am planning to apply for I140 and I485 concurrently. (LC needed MS or BS+5years of experiance)
I did BE and have the following experiances:
CompA 2 years as Software Engineer
CompB 2 years as Software Enginerr
CompC 1 year as Programmer/Analyst
CompD 6months as Software Engineer
CompE (GC Sponsering company) 2.5 years as Sr. Software Engineer
I gave the experiance letters(CompA to CompD) to my lawyer. Each letter says ... position, period, area that i worked.
My lawyer says that I might get an RFE as i may not qualify for progressive experiance even though I have more than five years of experiance.
Question is:
1. How strict is CSC for these type of details?
2a. Do I have to file I140 in EB2 since I have filed LC in EB2? If not can i file in EB3?
2b. If I go for EB3, Will I have to go to the bottom of the list or just change of catagory to EB3
3. If I file in EB2 and got an RFE, can i go for EB3 if I can't get the revised experiance letter in the following format.
Sample Progressive Experiance Letter:

Re: ***
This letter is written in verification of employment of Mr./Ms. X with ABC Limited. Mr./Ms. X was employed full-time by ABC Limited in the position of Database Administrator from Sept 1992 to Sept 1995.
Mr./Ms. X joined ABC limited in 1992 as a junior Database Administrator. Under my supervision he/she was responsible for monitoring Spare Parts Inventory database, creating and managing users, executing monthly MIS reports and taking backups. He/she showed great learning ability and quickly picked up various aspects of Database Administration
In his second year he/she was given independent responsibility to manage and maintain Spare Parts Inventory database. He/she performed database reorganization for this database. He/she was made a part of the/she project team engaged in database design and installation of Finance and Accounts database. His/her role in implementation of Finance and Accounts database was appreciated. He/she also played a significant role in successful migration of Fixed Deposit System from legacy system to an ORACLE database.
In the third and the last year of his/her employment with ABC Limited, Mr./Ms. X was supervising two junior Database Administrators. By now he/she was providing DBA support to two other factories of ABC besides the main factory. He/she was responsible for monitoring performance of all production databases, SQL optimization, planning and managing database growth. One major project undertaken by him/her during this time was design and installation of database for Shares accounting section. He/she also helped in data migration from legacy system to Oracle database for Share Accounting.
Please contact the/she undersigned if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
======================
Problem here is, I don't know how successfull I will be in getting the experiance letter in this revised format.
Basically, I am thinking of filing I140 with current documentation in EB2 and respond to RFE if i get. If it is too risky, I would not mind filing in EB3 from the begining. What do you recommend?
Priority dates are 7/17 and 3/xx for EB2 and EB3. But my lawyer says it will take around 6-8 months even on EB2. Is this True? If so, How do one calculate correct processing time?
I appreciate your time and comments.

Ragunath.
