skondam said:I am on EAD working for the employee A who is sponsering my GC. I used up all my H1 period and not applied for the extension. Last week 3 of the I140s were denied thru my employer based on Ability to Pay issues. I am a week behind them in terms of filing dates. I might have to leave the country if mine gets denied. Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks
if u got ur MS before joining your present employer, you surly can apply for eb2, but if your exp (min 5yrs) does not include ur present job still you can apply for eb2, if that is not the case you must consult some attorney.saggi2005 said:Hi,

This is my situation. My I140 ,EB2 cateory ,was filed using substituted labor which a previous employee used but my employer revoked the I140 for the previous employee.Filed only I140 with a receipt date of Feb 27th ,2006 directly to TSC.Now processing date is March 20th ,2006 and this changed on sep19th.
Please can u through some light on my case?This is my 8th year and visa will end on dec 4th ,2006.I have a PERM approvd labor EB3 category
but my Attorney says since this is a second I 140 premium processing will not be allowed.I am running out of time.
Hi UNITEDNATIONS
I-140 is denied based on job requirements mentioned in column 15 and column 14 says BS plus 5 years experience.
RFE says:
"In order to establish that the job requires an advance degree, the ETA-750 must actually state that a Master's degree or Master's degree or equivalent is required in the education requirement in part 14. A bachelor’s degree plus 5 years experience is equivalent to a master's degree, but it is not true for the job requirements. Stating that the job requires a bachelor’s degree in the education requirement and 5 years in the experience requirement is not the same as requiring a master's degree.
Submit evidence that the job requires a professional holding an advanced degree or the equivalent or an alien of exceptional ability."
My attorney replied with supplemental stating that job requires BS + 5 years progressive experience.
On Aug second week 2005, case is denied stating following reason.
"The service has required that in order to establish that the job requires an advanced degree, the ETA-750 must actually state that a master's or higher is required in the education requirement in part 14. The ETA-750 in this filing only requires a B.S. or Equiv. Degree. Therefore, the position itself does not meet the criteria an advanced degree professional.
In view of the above, the petition is denied."
My attorney is saying to fight back. Please advise is it better to go appeal or EB3.
Does anyone have similar issue?
Thanks
