Hi,

My I140 application is denied without RFE on the following grounds

1) ability to pay
2) Educational Qualification (Bcom + 1 year pgdca + 9 years experience out of which 3 years in USA and around 1 year in Italy and Singapore)

My lawyer is filing for an appeal, not sure whether I can get my I140 approved, iam sure there are people who have gone through this, and their inputs would be highly appreciated.

We submitted the independent edu evaluation also.

thanks & regards
 
We are very sorry to hear about your denial.
Did you get 2 RFE on same I140?
Reg your Educational RFE - What did your labor say for column 14 and 15? List out all the details on both columns.
Did you do 2nd evaluation through different evaluator?

Ask your lawyer to appeal within 30 days.

no RFE, direct denial :). my lawyer is filing an appeal, although I am not sure whether I can get it approved. Labor says software engineer with computer science degree and 2 or 3 years experience.
 
This is very disappointing...without any RFE..direct denial... Iam very sorry again for this mess. Check this thread for more help on your case http://boards.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=133912&page=73

While your case is in MTR/Appeal stage, start filing new labor (may be from different employer) for backup. Consult with your attorney. Good Luck.

applied for an appeal on may 23rd with modified experience letters since they didnt feel that my experience letters were reflecting my experience in software and the responsibilities I was performing.

also attached the proof for eligibility to pay, probably tax returns, bank statements etc.

I have one question though, will an appeal ever get approved in this kind of scenario. How much time it takes to get the result either way.

please let me know

thanks

Hello Sid,

Yes, there are chances of approval in such cases. I also got straight denial without RFE and had Ability to pay and education qualification as 2 reasons for denial.

The difference from your case was that I have 4 year engineering degree. The main reason they denied the case was A2P, they added education because my lawyer forgot to attach education evaluation for my degree. If you want you can read more about my case in the thread in my signature.

If your LC only states software engineer with computer science and does not have the magic words "OR EQUIVALENT", then it is tough to get an approval, although not impossible.

Best of luck!
 
I see that it took only one month to approve your I120B. I hope mine also gets approved as fast :). BTW What is A2P,LUD etc need to learn this lingo And congratulations

Thanks! There are some threads that discuss Education evaluation in detail. Try to search for posts by Shiela Danzig and A0001.

Don't waste your hard earned money on Sheila Danzig. Not worth it. I spent $800+ and I140 denied second time. I think now she is charging $1000+. Anyway, apply fresh labor with proper wording. Good luck.
 
You have applied as EB2 or EB3 ??

mine is eb3. i got my edu evaluation done by trust forte. they equate my education to computer science and business administration grad.

eric you didnt reply how come you got your i140 approved so fast after denial
 
and on top of this all the eb dates are current as per the latest news. iam in a fix whether to apply for 485 and waste money. or apply fresh labor. if i apply 485 and ead and if it is rejected i have 3 more years on my h1b will it go waste?

Sid, you didn't ask how I got fast approval, so I didn't reply. Anyway, I did not do anything special. I applied for MTR/appeal (290B). Did very good documentation and presentation. The total number of pages in my MTR were more than 100 and included all possible supporting documents that I could provide. This may have helped in fast approval of 140 after denial. For more details about my case, you an read the thread in my signature.
 
eric, would you mind sharing your brief, you can strike off your personal details. just want to see if my lawyer is also in the right approach

thanks

Just want to clarify, when I mentioned the user's names, I was trying to help Sid to find the threads that discuss education related RFEs and denials. I was not recommending anyones service. It is good that you posted your experience. Thanks!
