[msekhargc]

Hi Gurus,

My labor was approved in July'07 and I-140/485 were applied under EB2 category in Aug'07.

My qualification : Master of Engineering in Civil Engineering and B.Tech in Civil Engineering.

I got the below RFE from CIS :

The submitted ETA 9089 states the preferred position of Computer systems analyst requires a Masters degree in Engineering or related field.

Please submit a new educational evaluation based solely on the beneficiary's education when compared to a degree related to the computer indstry.

An acceptable evaluation must:

1) Consider formal education only, not practical training experience
2) did the applicant complete the U.S equivalant of high school before entering college
3) Provide detailed explanation of material evaluated
4) briefly state the qualifications and experience of the evaluator providing the opinion

The education evaluation I have submitted with I-140 includes my work experience. Please suggest me your ideas/experiences in getting the best education evaluation for my I-140 approval.

Thanks,
Sekhar

I think they are probing link of your Civil Engineering and Computer Analyst job. They are looking for specific computer oriented language courses that show you have formal education in that and that should corraborate your work experience letters. Its well known that getting EB2 for computer analyst etc oriented jobs is getting difficult. They are now questioning more and more as to why analyst oriented jobs should require Masters and #2 they are looking for links between Civil Engineering education and Computer oriented job that you are trying for.!!!

All the best.
Best Regards

Other than a MBA or MS, what else could be a better qualification for Analysts / Business Analysts??? Why shld they question the need for Masters? I was of the opinion that for a Business Analyst type profile, MBA would be apt / required to perform the duties.... your thoughts?

Thanks for your response

As per my employer adv :

Required degree : Masters degree in Engineering or related field (no experience)

The education evaluation was done from ITES inc., I have got this for applying H1B in Apr 2005, which includes my prior experience. We have used the same education evaluation for I-140 in Aug'07. Since the experience was combined in my education evaluation, CIS is now asking for a new evaluation based solely on education.

If you cld submit an eval just for education, you shld be ok

The business analyst you are mentioning is classified as systems analyst in USCIS code. In this case its prefereable to have computers or electrical degree. A civil engineering degree is little difficult to understand
