MDwatch Thanks,
But the problem is that I have Masters in Engineering from India and My Bachelors is a Three years Degree + 2 yr PG diploma, so how can I demonstrate that I have a Single 4 year Bachelors degree, Ofcourse I can prove that I have a Masters equivalent of US Masters, but NSC ask for 4 yr single degree .

------------------
If requirement on Labor is Bachelors Degree or Equivalent in Maths, Physics or Engineering plus 2 yr exp. And the Alien has these qualification:

5 Yr Exp plus:
B.Sc(3 Yr) Maths & Physics + 2 Yr PG Diploma in Engineering (equivalent to M.Sc in India) from IIT + M.Tech in Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology
What are the chances that NSC will Deny this case based on Not a Single 4 year Bachelors Degree?

Can this Masters from institutes like IIT be a proof that Alien posses a Bachelors degree or more?

Entery into M.Tech is based on a 4 yr Bachelors Degree or M.Sc.

Or once the requirement on Labor says Bachelors then NSC does not care about higher degree like Masters or even P.HD (Doctors Degree) etc.
------------------

If the labor requires a bachelor degree and 2 yrs experience, as long as you can demonstrate that you have those requirements you will be fine. If you have a masters or phd then you definitely have the bachelor degree required

Waitingfor4+yrs:

I think there was a misunderstanding .... please disregard my previous comment.

Now, is your family already with you in the U.S. in dependent visa? In that case you can include them in your I-140 petition. Of course, your employer's attorney will explain the details.

The words 'legalize' and 'sponsor' in your e-mail, triggered a different interpretation of your current situation. My previous comment was applicable only if your family members are outside of the U.S. and you are unable to find a temporary visa for them.

might wana read this...

After further observations and approvals "times" I've come to a conclusion. That PBEC is not that random when it comes to approve a case. Right now if you notice they're approving RIR only!...I just went to the trackitt website and I saw all the approvals and all of them were RIR only. So I guess after done with RIR cases, PBEC will move on to the non-rir. So I guess its not all that bad eh? I think all the non-rir cases have to wait until next year to get something. Plus this nightmare will be over september 30, 07. oh well...wait I guess.

Family comes into picture at the 485 (adjustment of status) stage, not the 140, which is the petition for immigrant employee (based on approved labor certification). You can file 140 right away after LC, but you cannot file 485 until the PD for your country is current for your category.

If you are counting on forthcoming immigration benefits for your family based on your own pending case, you might want to speak to an experienced attorney and not rely on advice doled out on this forum.

Speechless

Guys, I am speechless today. I really don't know what to say. After waiting for over 4 years finally the status of my labor certification shows "CERTIFIED". Having waited for so long I am even having trouble believing that its true. I have checked the site several times today and it still shows as certified. So, I guess I am not day dreaming and it is indeed certified.

I guess now the wait begins (like so many other people) for the hard copy of the certification to get delivered .... and then slowly onto other stages ....

Congratulations!

I also never received the 45DL and the email says that the case is active but the case starts with a "T". When I change the T do D and look it up in PDS the system says that "no record coud be found".
Does your case start with "T" ? Can you check your case in PDS?

Hi Frestre,

I send the email to nobeccontact@PHI.DFLC.US for non receipt of 45 days letter i got following message from PBEC.

Not to question you, manwithnoname. I am curious to know why did you say precisely Nov 1. Is anything changing starting that date ? Could you please throw some light.

The November visa bulletin puts EB2 cutoff for India as Jan 2003. This cutoff date goes into effect on Nov 1. Until then, the current cut off date of June 2002 is in effect for EB2-India. Therefore, if somebody has a PD after June 2002 and before Jan 2003, they can file concurrently for 140-485 (with LC clearer) beginning Nov 1.

thanks Katrina and hope you get out of the mess soon too!

Congratulations! My attorney told me mine was approved officially yesterday. (Got letter in mail) The certification date is Oct. 13; takes 11 days to receive the letter.

See you in I-140 forum
