I don't know how much time you took to complete AMIE.
Longer is better in this case.
I finished my AMIE in three years and I am in trouble.
If you took four or more, then you are lucky.
May be you can request a letter from IE, Calcutta mentioning the timeframe you took to finish AMIE.
That helps to support AMIE is a four years degree.
Regarding MTR, may be you can tell your attorney that similar AMIE applicants got I-140 approvals and your bad luch that it got stuck.
If your ed eval says you have bachelors, then you can tell your attorney that you have the qualification and you want try one more time.
My personal recommendation is go for another new labor with EB3 and draft it accoring to your qualifications.
Once the I-140 is rejected, then it is a bad remark.
All next I-140's will be linked and tracked. So it is difficult to convince USCIS that you have bachelors. Even though you go for MTR, you can buy time and it is hard to get positive results from USCIS. This is all my guess.
It is always better to go for EB3 new labor as you have some time.
Thanks and all the best.
Here are the details of my case:
Hi All �
Please I need some help urgently!!! Here is what I am going through �� My I-140 got denied on Aug 28, 2008.
My education is 10+2, 3 years diploma in engineering, AMIE in Mechanical Engineering and 2 years PGDIE (Post Graduate Diploma in Industrial Engineering). I am working with the largest enterprise software company and hence a big law firm as well. I have total 15 years of experience (12 years after AMIE, 10 years after PGDIE).
In my labor it�s clearly stated that the bachelor equivalent is needed.
Labor Priority date: 5/10/2007
8/7/2007 I-140 petition filed for EB2.
8/7/2007 Adjustment of Status applications filed.
8/7/2007 EAD application filed.
8/7/2007 Advance Parole application filed.
9/25/2007 USCIS Receipt Notice received.
10/23/2007 EAD approved and valid till Oct 2008.
6/20/2008 EAD renewal application filed.
Not sure when my lawyer got request for REF. However, I was asked to get more detailed information like transcripts / mark sheets with regards to AMIE. I submitted whatever my lawyer asked for.
In the mean while, my wife got a job. I asked my lawyer if it�s okay for my wife to start working and they said yes she can and there will not be any issue her visa status. My wife was on H 4.
7/1/2008 RFE Submitted
08/28/2008 I-140 / I-485 got denied
I still have valid H1.
I-94 Expiration: 4/10/2009
Estimated Final I-94 Expiration: 11/25/2011
My questions are �
Is there a known case of guy with AMIE got it through EB2? If so what needs to be done?
How do I convince my attorney that we should go ahead and file the MTR.
Please help!!!
Thanks

Raju, true indeed.....
I have noticed for several cases in here, where all the 3 applications are sent to the california service center....and CSC processes the EAD and AP and forwards the 485 app. back to NSC / TSC for further processing. The positive thing is that CSC is quick in processing AP/EAD....thus in a way this situation can prove to be lucky for all those whose applications are forwarded from NSC to CSC.
I believe USCIS is trying to comlete the receipting job from all the Service centres.
so you wont be sruprised if folks started reporting their receipt numbers start with EAC (for Vermont).
Let USCIS do their job of receipting everyone who filed in July-Aug 2007.
Ultimately processing will be done at USCIS NSC and TSC for I-140 and I-485 due to their bi-specialization program.
So no worry be happy...Support IV

. After 180 days you may leave, but you will have to find a new employer who is willing to hire you on permanent basis upon getting you GC for same/similar job as in the LC. What you do until your GC is approved (contract job with this employer or something else) is a different matter. Those employments can be on EAD, H1, temp/permanent, etc.
What if the job i'm moving to after 180 days is hiring me permanently now itself? Do they still have to specify (in EVL for AC21) that they will hire me perm only upon getting GC?

"possibility of retrogression"???? thats sounding like a weather forecast. :)
lets have a specific prediction here. Can you pick an year and month for EB2-India for the October 2008 Visa Bulletin (start of new fiscal year)?
Ron Gotcher believes EB2-India will be somewhere at 2002/2003.
meridiani.planum, thanks for giving me red. I dont think EB2- India will go back to 2002/2003 for the October 2008 visa bulletin. Even if it goes back to that old dates it comes back to 2006/2007 very quickly.

Watzgc,
Did your employer get a new LCA for the CA project when you changed projects? ... just one more thing to check before you send in the RFE response with new contract.
Hi Sid,

Thanks,

They will reject your application without medical exam. Before USCIS officers had instruction to favor RFE, meaning denying as last resort. Now they are instructed to deny any incomplete application and accept only if everything is OK.
Get the list of the doctors from USCIS web site and find one, drive/fly to them.
More likely you are not a from large city if the doctor is problem. In LA there are hundreds and I had an appointment the very next day.

They won't wait for your PD to be current to issue FP Notice.
Also, I don't think (my 2 cents) its advisable to travel before FP.. You never know when it will come and if you miss it... its considered as if you ignored it... They will issue one more FP notice before closing your AOS application...
So its needed to keep track of FP notice...

Hi,
Some online tax return websites have capabilities of pulling your W2 information from IRS site. I know turbotax does. Print out all those copies and your pay stubs. Send it to IRS with letter stating your problem. Before you do please apply for extension as april 15th is last date for tax return filing.
My wife worked as a consultant for first half of 2008 with a desi employer as an employee (on W-2). After many calls and emails we received W-2 Thursday that has income and taxes of only first two months. Now he says that he showed remaining 4 months as his profit so he can only send 1099. Please advise if I can take any legal action against this employer.
Thank you

The fact that the National Governors Association has also endorsed "Comprehensive" reform (besides the RNC last month) strengthens the case..
What is more important for us is that they also endorsed funding for the EB immigration system. See the highlighted portion below...
Huntsman pushing immigration reform
Governors meeting: He and Arizona's chief want colleagues to send a resolution to Congress
By Thomas Burr
The Salt Lake Tribune
http://sltrib.com/utah/ci_3554083
WASHINGTON - Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. plans to ask his Western colleagues today to vote on a resolution asking Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform that would oppose blanket amnesty but support a guest worker program.
Huntsman, a Republican who is proposing the resolution with Arizona's Democratic Gov. Janet Napolitano at a meeting of the Western Governor's Association, is calling for legislation to "protect and preserve the safety and interests" of the United States while also recognizing the need for "Western industries to have a stable and legal supply of workers," according to a release provided in advance of the meeting.
"Our states are on the front lines of a tidal wave of illegal immigration," Huntsman says in the release. "The debate in Washington has been polarizing and unhealthy, and we are asking the administration and Congress to adopt this bipartisan framework and recommendations agreed to by the Western Governors' Association."
Immigration has been one of the top issues of the National Governors Association as state leaders huddle in Washington.
While Congress has passed one immigration bill, there have been calls for more stringent and more comprehensive legislation from several sides of the immigration debate.
And increasingly, states are leading the charge, with Arizona and New Mexico both declaring states of emergency because of the influx of illegal immigrants.
"Governors feel they have to get into this debate because of the lack of action on the federal level in the first place," says Kirk Jowers, director of the University of Utah's Hinckley Institute of Politics, "and this issue so impacts the governors at the state level that they've decided they need to be a catalyst for this reform."
The proposal by Huntsman and Napolitano also calls for the U.S. leaders to work with Mexican and Latin American governments to "generate economic growth, improve the standard of living and promote ownership" in those countries as a way to stem the tide of immigration to the United States. Immigration was among the topics President Bush touched on during a Monday morning meeting with governors - possibly in anticipation of today's policy proposal, Huntsman said.
Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. and Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano are asking Western governors to:
* Oppose blanket amnesty to all undocumented workers and support "appropriate sanctions" for those breaking the law.
* Urge Congress to avoid creating incentives for more illegal immigration by "creating unnecessary hurdles and lengthy delays" for those wishing to immigrate legally.
* Call for full funding for law enforcement and security along the southern U.S. border, enforcement using "cutting-edge" technology, better coordination with law enforcement agents and construction of a federal correctional facility to house illegal immigrants convicted in state courts as well as reimbursement to states for incarcerating illegal immigrants.
* Request full funding for processing employment-based visas; eliminating visa-request backlogs and increasing the number of visas to meet U.S. industry needs, especially in high-tech, bio-tech and seasonal-based industries.
* Establish a guest worker program that will include background checks to help supply workers where there are shortages.
* Enforce sanctions against employers for hiring illegal immigrants along with a system for employers to verify citizenship and worker status.
