NSC I-140 RFE Experiances

duv_sree said:
Hello,
I received a RFE today. I have no idea what the RFE is about. Hopefully , it will get to my lawyers in couple of days time .

1. What are the chances of denial in I-140. My case is a company buyout case , two levels of aquisitions. Couple of other cases similar to mine got approved. My company is one of the fortune 500 companies. So no finanacial problems. The lawyers are also a top notch firm . I dont know what got goofed up in my case.

2. My I-140 was filed under premium processing. if lawyers send the requested documents , then would the RFE be also processed in premium.

One waits for four freaking years to get the labor approved, does all kind of shit job since you are on H1 and cannot move and now this :(

Lets hope and pray for the best.

RFE -- Please help

Thanks. How long does it take for the RFE hardcopy to get to the lawyers. Since, it premium , the least they could do is to FEDEX it :)

Urgent And Time Sensitive, Support Senator Obama's Bill On Limiting Fbi's Name Check

Dear All:

Whether your citizenship has finally been approved, your case is pending or you are getting started, you know the need for reform in the stalling process that can take for years. Many of you are already aware of the "Citizenship Promotion Act" introduced by Senator Obama on March 7, 07. This bill limits the increase in the immigration fees, but most importantly delineates time frames for FBI name check, which has a backlog of 300,000 and are reviewing cases "manually". I have started a petition in support of the bill. Please be informed that the bill also supports applicants of permanent residency in their name check process as well. WE ALL NEED TO SIGN IT AND ALSO PASS IT ON TO ALL OF THE FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS WHO ARE OR HAVE BEEN ENTANGLED BY THE OVERDUE IMMIGRATION PROCESSES. THE MORE SIGNATURES WE HAVE, THE MORE WE WILL BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ADVOCACY FOR THE BILL BY THE CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS.

PLEASE SIGN AND PASS FORWARD FOR ANYONE AND EVERYONE TO SEE.

Hi Gurus,
I had filed my I-140 with NSC under EB2 category. Column 14 of certified labor mentions:
M.S. or equiv. degree. Experience for job offered is 1 year.

I am an Mcom,
with 3 year Bcom (Honors) Delhi university,
1 year Post graduate diploma in Computer Applications(full time),
6 months Post graduate Diploma in software Application engineering(full time).

I also have 1 month full time Oracle Financials Training certificate from concourse Information Technology Internationals (full time)

a 3 month Essentials of Oracle certification from NIIT. Besides 6 years of experience in IT field (as on the date when my labor was filed).

My credential evaluation report mentions as follows:

"Mr. Neerajkhan’s master degree is considered to be academically equivalent to a Master of business Administration as awarded by an accredited U.S university. Admission to this program required a bachelor’s degree. His bachelor's degree is equivalent to a bachelor of science in business administration as awarded by am accredited U.S university. He also has a major in Computer Science based on extensive studies he completed in computer science and the awarding of two Post Graduate diplomas in computer science. This course of study is equivalent to the credits required by U.S universities for a major in computer science. Admission to the bachelor's program required the equivalent to a U.S high school diploma."

What are my chances of getting I-140 approved?
Please advice.

I ALSO HAVE LLB (3YEARS) and i was admitted in that course based upon my 3 years of Bcom BESIDES THE FOLLOWING:

Mcom 2 years,
with 3 year Bcom (Honors) Delhi university,
1 year Post graduate diploma in Computer Applications(full time),

According to the processing dates on USCIS website, NSC is processing cases filed around August 2006. Of course, it does not mean that all cases before August has been approved. If a case is well prepared and does not spawn a RFE then it will be approved during the first wave of scrutiny. So when the February cases will be worked on? It depends how many applications were filed at NSC between August 2006 and February 2007. This is likely to be higher than normal because the Backlog Elimination Centers opened the floodgates ...

Also, if the applicants filed after February 2007 opt for premium processing they will jump the queue. Please note that all predictions were based on the assumption that NSC is following a strict FIFO.
 
Need information on I140 Filing at NSC

Hello All,

My lawyer has filed my I140 at NSC (Traditional process). I have decided to go for premium processing (i.e. I have my receipt #) just for the peace of mind. I have read quite a few posts on queries emerging out of NSC based on "educational qualifications".

I have been in the US for 5years now. I am with the same company. Never changed job - been with them for 5 years now.
My question is -

  • Attached all the necessary documents (W2, Tax Returns etc). The only experience letter I was able to get was from my old company based in India. Got 3.4 yrs experience letter stating all my work, skills, experience
  • Degree is B.Com (3 years). Did MBA (IT Management) from an online University in US.
  • Educational Evaluation done from Trusteforte Corp (assigned my US degree of Bachelors of Science in Information Management Systems)
  • I140 is filed under EB3 Category

Does anyone see any problem/issue with the B.Com degree even with educational evaluation from Trustforte? Any bonus points for having MBA (IT Mgmt) from US? Any reply or insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

Is your 1 year PGDCA Diploma recognized by UGC (University Grant Commission) in India? If not, then it can NOT be used as part of your educational qualification.

If the degree/diploma is not recognized, then it is similar to degree/diploma in US that is un-accredited.
 
Hi Desi3933,

Thanks for suggesting me ,actually based on this only my H1 is filed and also my own state labor has been filied, so I think this is valid and also got Education Evaluated,

I don't think this is true. There is no criteria anywhere which suggests any degrees or diplomas from India should be accredited or recognized by the UGC. There has not been a single instance of any member on this forum whose I-140 was denied because their degree or diploma was not recognized by UGC. However please do consult with a good attorney on this issue before proceeding. Its hard to give the right advice without learning of similar experiences.

Up until last year most diplomas, if not all, we approved. I have seen RFE's starting last year. You can see what happens if you apply - you can likely send another evaluation that combines work if you get the RFE. The problem is the cost of the lawyer filing the RFE for you and I have heard that RFE's are scrutinized quite closely.

Asking your lawyer is a good idea.
