Gurus Pls help - Approved petition shows EB3 instead of EB2
Hi GP111 / Gurus,
Bad news. I have just got a fax of the I-140 receipt notice and was horrified to note the following:
1. The I-140 Approval noice mentions EB3 ( Skilled worker or Professional, sec 203 (b) (3) (A) (i) or (ii) ) instead of EB2.
2. The priority date is mentioned incorrectly by 1 day ( not a big issue though )
My application was definitely filed under EB-2 as I was able to apply for AOS so I'm not sure what's wrong here. Is it a typo error which can be followed up with USCIS?
This was mentioned on my LC:
"Either a Master's degree with no post graduate experience or a Bachelor's degree with 5 years of progressive experience. In lieu of a Master's degree employer will accept an educational evaluation equivalence. " Gurus, do you see any red flags here!!!
This obviously has devastating consequences for my Green Card approval process as the dates for EB-3 are in the period Mar-May 2001.
Para-Legal confirmed that there never was a notice from USCIS to downgrade the application to EB-3 from EB2. Waiting to speak to lawyer still.
If anyone has faced this situation before and overcome it please let me know.
1. Whether it could be a typo error on part of the USCIS?
2. Can we request a correction of the classification as EB-2 if it is a typo error.
3. Even if it is not a typo, can we request them to change the classification to EB-2.
3. Whether it is possible to correct the priority date.
4. Lastly is it possible to file a brand new I-140 application in the EB-2 category which can then be later linked to my I-485 application.
Thank you for all your help.
I would be deeply grateful for all your help in this situation.
