Without experience letter I doubt you will get approval. What does your attorney say? Link to comment
indianpro Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Attorney says they need experience letter. I am trying to argue that for skilled worker even more than 2 years of training (education) is sufficient. Link to comment
Attorney_9 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 If the labor certification lists any amount of experience, you will need to demonstrate that you possessed at least that amount of experience prior to filing the labor certification. If you are unable to provide a letter from a previous employer in the format USCIS requires you will need to provide a self-affidavit describing your attempts to obtain that letter, 2 colleague affidavits from individuals that worked with you at that previous employer and any secondary evidence of that employment (i.e. service certificates, paystubs, W-2s, immigration documents, etc).

t75 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 OP, What makes you think you are qualified to argue anything - especially with an immigration attorney or a US government representative? Link to comment
indianpro Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 OP, What makes you think you are qualified to argue anything - especially with an immigration attorney or a US government representative? Well, I take that back.. " argue " may not be the right word, but just trying to make my point. EB3 Skilled worker = 2 years training and/or experience. Thanks Attorney_9 for detailed feedback. I have enough secondary evidence to support it. Link to comment
Attorney_15 Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 This labor certification is phrased to require a BS/equivalent and 3 years of experience in an alternate acceptable occupation. So unless USCIS is presented with experience letters or satisfactory and sufficient affidavits and secondary evidence for the entire 3 year period, the I-140 would not normally get approved.
