Thank you Link to comment
omshiv Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Doesn't look like a fit for EB2...your employer is correct. If you are not satisfied you may always show your credentials to an Attorney Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Why not give the firm of Murthy a call and discuss your situation rather than have a lay person like me or somebody else give you their 2 cents?. Link to comment
itsmeusa Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 You must seek legal guidance from competent lawyer for your case. There are too many things that goes into deciding whether your case if eligible under EB1 or not. But you are right that PhD is not mandatory for EB1 - outstanding researcher, but it definitely gives the edge. Link to comment
GcLLC Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Run your case by an attorney. Chances on EB1-EA are very, very slim. However EB1-OR might work. That is best evaluated by an experienced immigration attorney. Link to comment

MS_Neuro Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 I have a PhD with two first author publications and several hundred citations. I hold a director level position in medical communications and I am in the top pay bracket of my field. After submitting all of my paperwork to a law firm, my law firm determined that I am not a good fit for EB-1. I am now processing through EB-2. I am telling you this because the standards are super high. Only a law firm, after carefully reviewing your evidence package (be prepared to collect an evidence package) can tell you if your particular credentials qualify. Don't let a lay person tell you, it just wastes time. Link to comment
