IYIMAN:
See what I found:

1. Position does not qualify for category

This is most common with cases filed in the EB-2 category. As a reminder, a position qualifies for EB-2 if it is one that requires a Master’s degree or a Bachelor’s degree plus five years of progressive experience as a minimum for entry into the profession. A Master’s degree means a U.S. Master’s degree or the foreign equivalent of a U.S. Master’s degree. A Bachelor’s degree means a U.S. Bachelor’s degree or the foreign equivalent of a U.S. Bachelor’s degree. Nothing less will qualify for EB-2.

The adjudicating officer must first determine whether the position as described on the labor certification qualifies for the EB-2 category. This is where the drafting of the labor certification can make or break an EB-2 case. If a labor certification application states that a position requires a Bachelor’s degree and that the employer will accept a three-year bachelor’s degree to meet this requirement, the position described on the labor certification is not an EB-2 position. The employer will accept something less than a U.S. bachelor’s degree, which is a four-year degree. The case would be denied on the grounds that minimum requirements for the position are less than a bachelor’s degree and “do not support 2nd preference classification.” The exact wording of the minimum requirements of the position should be carefully considered prior to beginning the labor certification in order to ensure that the position will qualify for the intended category at the I-140 stage.



2. The Beneficiary does not qualify the position

The adjudicating officer must determine whether the sponsored employee meets the minimum requirements stated on the labor certification. If the position the worker is being sponsored for requires experience, the worker must document that he or she met that experience requirement as of the priority date (i.e. the date the labor certification was filed). This is usually done by submitting experience letters from former employers. Sometimes, USCIS may deny on the grounds that there is not sufficient documentation to establish that the experience requirement has been met, such as where an experience letter could not be provided or is not detailed enough. Or, USCIS may deny on the grounds that the experience was gained with the sponsoring employerin a substantially similar position and therefore cannot be counted to meet the experience requirement.

The adjudicating officer will also look at the education requirement for the position as described on the labor certification to decide whether the sponsored worker qualifies for the position. The sponsored worker must have the right degree and in the right field of study. If the field of study is not exactly matching what was stated on the labor certification (for example the worker has an MBA but the labor certification requires a Masters in Computer Science), the I-140 could be denied unless an argument can be made that the worker’s field of study is closely related to the requirement. Also, the length of the degree programs will be looked at. A Master’s degree usually means that the worker must have six years of study. A Bachelor’s degree usually means that the worker must have four years of study. A three-year bachelor’s degree can often cause a denial if not handled carefully during the planning phase.

3. Ability to Pay

Title 8 of the Code of Federal Regulations, at part 204.5(g)(2) states:

Any petition filed by or for an employment-based immigrant which requires an offer of employment must be accompanied by evidence that the prospective United States employer has the ability to pay the proffered wage. The petitioner must demonstrate this ability at the time the priority date is established and continuing until the beneficiary obtains lawful permanent residence. Evidence of this ability shall be either in the form of copies of annual reports, federal tax returns, or audited financial

The following information and documents are typically reviewed by the adjudicating officer: priority date, proffered wage, company tax return and employee W-2 for each year plus the employee’s most recent pay statement showing the year-to-date pay received. If the salary that has been paid to the sponsored worker is less than the proffered wage stated on the labor certification, a Request for Evidence is usually issued and can lead to a denial if the company’s net income is not sufficient. The best way to avoid a denial on this issue is to ensure that the salary being paid meets or exceeds the proffered wage on the labor certification starting from the day the labor certification is filed.

Hopefully these points will help you be on the lookout for pitfalls in your own process so that you can avoid a denial at this stage.

Good work I see here. I salute the creator of this thread. Kudos to all the great contributors and the gurus in the house. I respect you all.

Please, I have few questions that bothers me. For someone who is married to a Registered Nurse in naija. What happens to the husband or wife if either of the partners is successful in any of the traveling applications. Will the partner also be allowed to enjoy the benefits of the EB-3 visa(green card) or only the carrier of the application stands to solely benefit apart from allowing the family to also travel.

Secondly, who has successfully completed the Canada process or in any stage of the application?. I want to know.

Lastly, I have a suggestion for the creator of this thread to consider creating a WhatsApp group for this thread. This will give room for a faster communication and sharing of ideas.

I'd to get responses from the gurus and masters in the house. Thanks.

divinewill12:
Hello. Pls I would like to know if CGFNS would issue me a visacreen certificate. My I.E.L.T.S score is overall band 7.0 which is fine cos the requirement is 6.5 but my speaking is 6.0 and requirement is 7.0. My licensure board has already verified so it's just the I.E.L.T.S. I took the academic version

Optimistic001:
good morning all, I have been a silent follower of this post. I graduated this March (BNSC) and I was wondering if I could start this whole process too without work experience. Is work experience needed for nclex and everything? Please I would appreciate if someone can put me through. Thank you.
