I-140 RFE based on Educational Qualification

[vmetla]

Hi All,

I received an RFE based on my qualification and the Job requirement qualification.

While applying for PERM, in the ETA 9089 form, Attorney mistakenly listed as below

1. Accepted / Required Bachelors Degree for the Posted Job:
Computer Science, Mathematics (Instead of Mathematics, it should have been Engineering)
2. Any Other Alternate Degree accepted:
NO

And in my profile, he listed the degree as ENGINEERING.

Now during the I-140 stage, i got an RFE based on this mismatch. Here is the verbiage.

The USCIS is requesting evidence that the beneficiary obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or Mathematics, OR evidence that the degree obtained was part of the Computer Science or Mathematics program/department.

MY Attorney Suggested 2 things.

1. Get my degree transcripts evaluated by a third party educational evaluator and equate the courses i have done (7 Computer Courses and 9 Mathematics courses) as part of Computer Science / Mathematics Degree.

2. Get an verification letter from the University that these courses are infact related to Computer Science / Mathematics Degree.

Please let me know if i stand any chance with these 2 options.

I guess both options are good but I would suggest option 1. Btw you should kick you lawyer's a** so hard so that he would not make this mistake again in his life. Sorry for my language. Why do these lawyers screw up our lives? I have had enough with these so called idiots who cannot do a simple job without making any mistakes. My lawyer screwed up my life with just a single mistake and I have been suffering for the past 5 years now, otherwise I would have got my GC in 2005.
Anyways, dont worry you should be just fine. Please contact Murthy or some other good laywers to work on your RFE and do not go with your current lawyer please.

Yes thats right. I never thought i would face this issue with a single line on the ETA form.
I have taken this issue with my HR, and they are changing the immigration lawyers.

As a contingency measure, my HR is applying for 1 H1 extension, just in case the I-140 is denied. I hope the USCIS adjudicator is a cool guy and get satisfied with the evidence i submit.

That’s good. In addition to the evaluation, it doesn’t hurt to get a letter from the university to show that the degree is actually computer and mathematics related.

why does it have to be only one option. submit both or even more of other types

Thank you for your help in this regard. My attorney submitted

1. Expert Opinion Letter
2. University Letter

and the I-140 RFE was cleared in 2 days and got the approval today (per USCIS case status).
Mine was PP.
