Hello All,
Pardon me if I am repeating any previous post . I have not been able to finda suitable answer to the questions that I have.
My company applied for my labor with the education field in 14 as "bachelors" with no equivalency mentioned and box 15 left empty. In the "Major filed of study" they have mentioned - Comp Sc, Engg, Applied Physics or Math.
I got my labor approved last week. I have a 3 year Bachelors in Physics from India and a 2 year Masters in Physics from India. My company also submitted educational equivalence certificate.
Now my lawyer is coming back and saying that I cannot go with this approved labor for my I140 and it would be rejected. His reasoning is as follows. He says in the education field it should have been mentioned "bachelors or equivalent" in box 14 and in box 15 it should have been mentioned "combined degrees accepted". Now he is asking me to apply for a new labor alltogether with these changes !!!
What is your opinion on this. Is he right in the first place or is there any other assured way out of this problem. Do you think he has not done a good job and should I be looking for a better lawyer?
My second question is , is it possible for me to use this approved labor and file for my 7th year extension as I am in my 6th year of my H1B and I have only 7 months left ?
I would very much appreciate a quick response as my company is planning to apply for new labor for me and my lawyer has told me he cannot do anything about the present approved labor and the only way is to start with a new labor.
Thanks
Sashank
