Green Card under EB2 with out accreditation on masters

[Keshavardhan reddy]

Hi 

I did my masters in North western polytechnic university which don't have accreditation right now but I completed my masters in 2015 April which was accredited at that time . I got H1b under masters quota no issues with H1b. Now I am planing to start my GC processing. 

1)Can I start my GC processing under EB2 with my masters quota or Do I need to apply in EB3 coz my university don't have accreditation now .

When I got my certificate from NPU it was fully accredited, It lost accreditation in 2016 December.

There have been cases where USCIS has denied Advanced Degree H1s for people who got their Masters from institutions that lost accreditation due to the accreditor ACICS no longer being recognized.

Discuss your particular situation with a good immigration lawyer.

EB2 Doesn't emphasize only on degree.  If you have 4-5 years of experience you can always file it as Bachelors with 5 years experience which always qualifies as EB2
