I-140 Experience

[sukrutha8738]

hello all, I have a question regarding work experience letter when applying for I140. My PERM has been approved recently and applied for I140. The position requirement is 1 year of experience with Masters degree. I worked in India longtime ago for 1 year after my engineering. after that i moved to US and completed my masters degree and i am working on H1 for my companny for the last 5 years. I did not changed my employer on H1b in the last 5 years . Since i am working for the same company my current experience ( 5 years in USA) is not considered for the PERM.

I got experience letter( for 1 year ) from the Indian comapny after i quit that position and i used the same letter when applying I140. This experience letter is very generic. ( position title and start date and end date and my work was good ) it did not included any job responsibilites on the letter. i did not even knew this letter will be useful in future at that time.

I was wondering if i get an RFE regarding work experience.

1) is it mandatory to put JOb responsibilities on the experience letter( from the Indian company letter). ?

2) I am not sure if that Indian company is still in business or not. what if it is shutdown ?

3) If my past company has been taken over by another company ?

Please advise what i should do if get an RFE for the past work experience.

Thanking you in advance.

You can obtain affidavit from any of co workers who worked with you in that company. That would be good enough to prove your experience. You may need specific format in such cases and your attorney can provide it.
