Perm says "Masters required", can i file under EB-3 instead of EB-2


Recommended Posts

Hi All, 
My situation is kind of complicated..so I will give the details first: 
Country of Birth = India 
Wife's country of birth = Ukraine 
Using Cross chargeability, I can file using my wife's country of birth (confirmed with lawyer). This helps me get over the long wait times for those born in India. 

Until July, the the dates were current for "EB-2: Rest of the world category" 
In Aug, bulletin, the date became Feb 2014. 
But, the date for "EB-3: Rest of the world category", the date is better 15MAR16. 

My perm was filed in Oct 2015 and approved in Apr 2016. The perm says "Masters degree required". At that time, the EB-2:Rest of the world was current, for the longest time I can remember.

No, my question is: 
Since EB-3 cutoff date is now more recent than EB-2, can I use the same PERM and file under EB-3 instead of EB-2? 

Any suggestions will help. Thank you all!
