What if LC requirement is mentioned simply as Master's Degree and nothing mentioned whether a foreign equivalent will be accepted or not what are the chances for I-140- Denial without giving much thought or chances of approval at NSC.

Here are my case details: Its a LC substitution case at NSC.

I have Masters Degree in EE from INDIA which is evaluated as equivalent to 2 years U.S. Masters Degree, however requirements on LC is as follows (NOTE THAT NOTHING IS MENTIONED IF A FOREIGN EQUIVALENT DEGREE IS ACCEPTABLE OR NOT):

14. Education: Master's Degree
Field of Study: CS, Math, EE, CE, Telecommunication Engg.

15. Special Requirements:
None Specified.
Employer will accept a Bachelor's degree in any one of the listed disciplines and five years of progressively more responsible experience in lieu of Master's plus two years experience

Don't worry. It will be approved. It is not necessary that they should mention foreign equivalent on LC.

My 140 got approved from TSC without mentioning foreign equivalent on my LC and I have done master's degree in Mechanical Engg. My case was not substitute.

Good luck.

Dear RJ_NJ2002, Thanks very much, I really appreciate,
I was really concerned as my attorney told me not to go for Premium processing for this he told that under PP this will be denied you gave me some hope. I choose PP thinking that i will know outcome in 15 days instead of 6 or more months

thanks again
