My I-140 was denied because of some issues with educational evaluation (B.Sc(Tech) equivalence to B.E) that was done with my first H1. We worked closely with Rajiv ji and Sheena ji in getting the issue resolved. We filed an appeal notice with a new detailed educational evaluation and got the I-140 approval with in 15-20 days. My I-485 that was also denied was also returned to pending status. I was very happy with the whole experience and the way the issue was handled and resolved.
I would like to thank Sheena ji and Rajiv ji for the pleasant and swift way the appeal process was handled.
