Answer
If I-140 is denied:
- You can file motion to reopen/reconsider (MTR) within 30 days
- Or appeal to Administrative Appeals Office (AAO)
- Or refile with corrected information
- Your H-1B status remains valid (if you have one)
Common denial reasons: Insufficient evidence, degree equivalency issues, employer ability to pay. Work with attorney to address concerns.
