My H1-B visa is ending Dec 23rd 2011. My company filed PERM (EB3) on March 30th 2011, and got approved on May 23rd 2011.

I-140 was filed on July 20th and RFE was issued on August 9th. The reply was sent and now it has been denied on Oct 24th 2011. I don't have the exact reason for the RFE and the denial.

1) Am I eligible to re-apply fresh I -140 application under EB3? - As on my PERM it says my Certification is valid from 05/20/2011 to 11/16/2011, if yes, should I apply it before 11/16/2011

2) Based on my 3 year Bachelor’s degree and 2 year Masters in commerce both degrees from India, and have 8 years of experience in IT - should I apply as a Skilled worker instead of a Professional. The attorneys chose Professional when filed my I-140 July 2011. The advt was for 2 years exp.
