NSC I-140 RFE Experiances
- Thread starter grnlight
- Start date
I dont know if they insist on any specific standard.All they want is that it be on the company's letter head briefing about the dates during which the Employee has worked...pranamNY said:he worked for two companys.He summited the exp.letter but format was not relevent to there standerd
What was the text of the RFE?
they do keen on special format. I won't say format but the matter. I think tose days are gone when a simple letter on letterhead with dates would fly. My many frds got RFEs based on exp. letters.boreal said:
Now a days what they really want is almost a full page worth of letter on company ltterhead with dates, supervior or mgr name and contact and explain in about 5-10 lines about duties person was responsible for.
Those duties should match with requirements in labor .
yes, it getting tough !!

RFE: Have to prepare a letter compairing my work experience to labor requirements
There is an RFE raising questions about my university RA/TA experience. The labor required MS+3, and it is essential for me to prove that univ exp was related since I won't be meeting the requirements without that.
My Research Assistant exp was in the same field, so I won't be having problems in showing it as a related one. Now, for Teaching Assistant (TA), CIS has questioned that this TA job doesn't seem to entail the same job duties as listed on the labor. Since, in TA, I helped the professor in teaching the course and conducting the labs, it wasn't directly related to 'software development job duties' as listed on the labor. However, the courses I taught were very much related to the technology listed on the labor. Now, how should I prove that my TA exp. was in fact in line with the labor requirement.
Also, I meet the labor requirement even if we just count my RA exp and not count my TA exp. But, since the RFE specifically raised questions about the TA, my lawyer has suggested that we have to clarify in detail as to how that exp was a related one. And, after clarifying that we can add a line saying 'eventhough the TA exp was a related one, the candidate still meets the requirements even if we don't count it towards the required exp.' Any suggestions as to why my attorney is so interested in proving that this exp was a related one ?
My lawyer has also suggested that we should not only clarify the univ exp. but do the same with the other experiences also. That way things will be clearer to the CIS and will help in the I140 approval. Now, since I have to write the letter comparing the labor requirements with my previous experiences, I am wondering if any of you may help me with the "format" of this letter. any suggestions or pointers?

advice needed from UN
UnitedNations,
Based on your conversation above, looks like I'm headed towards trouble when I file my I-140 in a few days.
EB-2
4year degree in computer engineering from India
LC filed from Nebraska(satellite office) in Dec 2003
Company head office in Texas
My paystubs from 2003 to 2004 show company address as Texas
then 2004 to july 2006 show Nebraska
again from this month(August, 2006), they show Texas
All my W2s(2003,2004,2005) show state as TX
I work on client site in WA
Company is 150+ employees and financials are strong. I have less salary in my Paystubs than LC wages due to per-diems, but company has big profits.
Is it a recipe for denial or is it ok?
thanks

I 140 RFE: Ability to pay
Hello All,
1.) CIS has asked for my 2005 W-2.
My company was carved out from the parent company in 2004, and somehow due to pay-roll's extended laziness the old company name showed up on my 2005 W-2. However, my last pay stub of 2005 shows new company name along with the same gross income as W-2. FYI, My labor was filed under perm and under the new company name.
Now, what should I do to explain this discrepancy ? My HR is saying that issuing a new W-2 with correct company name is not an option since it will involve lots of efforts.
2.) Also, CIS has asked the company "You must submit additional evidence that you had the financial ability to pay the offered wages as of the PD and continue to have such ability. Such evidence must include your latest annual report, your 2005 tax returns, or audited financial statements."
Based on the above statements, do you guys think that CIS is asking either to 1.) provide annual report and tax returns OR 2.) audited financial statements.
OR they want the annual report along with the audited financial statments too.
My company is planning to submit only the audited financial statements. Would that be sufficient?
Thanks

are you sure your filing date 140 is 7/17/06
So NSC approved a 7/17/06 filed I140 case by 9/1/06 with RFE as well...so thats like less than 45 days.
Was it converted to premium ?
I 140 RFE on Education ( 3 Year Degree)
Hi,
I got a RFE on Sep 01 06 on my I140 from NSE. Here are my filing details and RFE.
Advertisement details filed with Labor application: It also say allows Foreign Degree
LC: Feb 2004 (Not a substitute Labor) EB3
LC Approved: Feb 2006
I140 Filed: Mar 2006
RFE I140: Sep 2006
RFE:
“Your labor certification specifies that the position offered requires a four-year bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering or a closely related field. USCIS holds this to be a degree which is equivalent to a four year degree from an accredited US institution in one of the listed fields. Please submit evidence which establishes that the beneficiary holds such a degree. Your evaluator found that the degree program which the beneficiary's subsequent education at a training school gave him education equivalent to four-year degree.Your labor certification does not provide for the acceptance of a combination of degree and /or certificates in lieu of the one degree which it specifies."
Your evaluator reported that the beneficiary received his degree from xxx University "following the completion of four years of required academic coursework" but the transcript reports he passed a "3 year degree course". Please explain this discrepancy. "
-----------
I am not sure what's going on with my application, it is pretty clear that Lawyer messed up Form ETA 750 and the way he evaluated my degree.
I am thinking to do education evaluation from an expert and submit the RFE along with labor certification advertisement saying it accepts foreign degree. I learned from the forum, chances at NSE are very less (50-50) on 3 year degree issue.
Immigration experts/Gurus please advice.

Good for you. At least some breathing space.
Did your receipt number start with SRC or LIN ? I don't expect NSC to do quick processing.
