I don't think I've ever heard of an overqualified BSN being denied by USCIS.

As long as your papers are genuine and in order, and your petitioner files the appropriate paperwork and they can show proof that they can meet sponsorship obligations, I don't see why USCIS would deny your petition.

Clearly, there is more to the story than just being an overqualified RN.

Did USCIS outline their reasons for the denial? Did you receive an RFE or NOID before you were denied?

Hello, there's a blog from immigration lawyer that they appealing to the USCIS because they dont accept now overqualified BSN . They were saying that being a RN they only need an Assoc.degree not a Bachelor.

my I-140 don't have any result yet that's why I'm very anxious about the result.

what do u mean your I-140 doesnt have any results? meaning you dont know if your denied or not? another reason why its taking long is because how did you file it? did you do regular processor? or premium?

Hello my agency filed my I140 this June2017, however they refused to provide the receipt number that's why I can't track it on my end. I would like to know how many mos. on regular processing did you get the results or response of your petition?

Mine was filed last February 7, 2017. In May, the status of my application was, "Request for Additional Evidence" mailed and was given until June 3 to respond. I communicated this with my agency and I was told that they will take care of it. Up to now the status is still the same. I was advised that online status is not updated. Now I am worried and anxious. The waiting period is agonizing. I have been told that just in case I will get denied, they will re-file and usually refiled cases get approved. But then original/old priority date will not be retained. Sigh.

Mine was denied in Mar 2017. Agency did not tells me the reason. I was informed that nothing to do with my credentials. Refiled in May 2017. Waited for soooooo long. Until Mar 5 2018, status changed to Requesting for additional evidence....". I informed my agency and they told me the same thing as what was told to Ymma (guess we have the same agency). Until now, Im still waiting for result. I have more than 20 yrs experience so this news of denying overqualified nurses make me nervous. April visa bulletin was just out today and PD jumped so much. I guess my PD will be current by next month but whats the point if I dont have EB3 approved. Anyone approved here after refiling. Pls share.

Now i am worried. I just got news that i have RFE also. Mine was filed last june 2017. After a loong wait, this is what I get. So frustrating. I am not sure what do they still need. I am also about to become current but i still dont have the i-140 approval. Sigh.

The usual denial is not on the applicant's side. It is mostly on your employer side. Usual factors that affects your I-140 application is your employer's tax, prevailing wage etc...

Quite disappointing. So much time wasted waiting for the approval.
