Any internationals on H1B/ I-140?

I recently ran into some major issues. My H1B extension got denied (I still have around 5 months left) while my I-140 is still pending.

The issue that H1B extension got denied was that USCIS doesnt seem to think that Bachelors in Physics + CFA makes me qualified for my current job (equity research). I am pretty ticked off since it seems kinda ridiculous to think that a govt worker is telling me I cant do my job properly.

More importantly though, my I-140 is pending and I am worried that I will have the same issue here (Educational degree not matching or qualified for equity research role). I was hoping someone who has I-140 approved can give me some advice about the topic?
