Please help, Education requirement problem

[Koo]

Hello,

Here's a weird case for you experts:

LC approved in February
Applied for the I-140 a couple of months ago
Received Notice of Action from BCIS Monday that indicates that the minimum education requirement in the ETA-750 is a bachelor's degree in the field of "Graphic Design/Art, Information" and because the beneficiary has a foreign degree an evaluation of formal education is required.

In the original ETA-750, the text field for the Major field of study did not show the actual text we had submitted completely. What is approved as "Graphic Design/Art, Information" is actually a list of "Graphic Design/Art, Information design, Industrial Design, Interior Design/Architecture, Multimedia Design". Because of the nature of the .pdf files, most of this text was cut off in the printout and was submitted unnoticed, and got approved!

Problem: I have a BS in Interior Design. And my education evaluation, even with my 10+ years of experience is not going to be enough for BCIS, like most people said on this forum, the experience does not work if there is a specific degree defined in the "major field of study" field.

Question 1: Is there any chance to recover this case? Obviously it's an unfortunate bureaucratic mistake. It's obvious because the term "Graphic design/art, Information" does not make sense as there's no such thing as "Information" as a field of study. The rest of the list is simply cut off.

Question 2: Was it wrong to have multiple entries in the "Major field of study" in the first place? So even if I can prove my case, will it still be denied?

Question 3: If this is going to be denied anyway what can I do next. Submit a corrected ETA750 and restart all over?

Thanks in advance.

I remember there are multiple places in the form to specify your requirement, not just one short box.

Unrelated Degree

Koo:
Iam in a similar situation.
I have a Bachelor in Architecture (5 year programme) from a Reputed Government Engineering College in India, with a Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Applications + 6 years of post-educational experience in IT .
My labor was approved based on ETA 750 (Bachelor of Computer Science or Engineering or Equiv.). Now I have been issued an RFE against I-140 on my educational credentials.
BCIS wants me to provide evidence that i have a bachelor's degree in Engineering or Computer Science ( But my Architecture degree is a actually a branch of the Engineering institute..)

I had already submitted educational evaluation indicating "Equivalency" to Bachelor degree in Computer Science in the US.
Any advise/ info on how to provide response to this RFE would be highly appreciated.

Thanks
