GC category for 3 yrs Bachelors + 13 yrs Exp

[nchhabria]

I have done my Bachelor in Commerce (3 yrs) from India +

1 year full time course from IBM; which is equivalent to a Bachelor's in IT +

2 IT certifications from Sun Microsystems (SCJP and SCWCD) +

8 yrs of IT experience +

I was in my own business for 5 yrs, related to an IT field.

With this background, can my GC be filed in EB2 category ?

I understand the criteria is 4 yrs bachelors + 5 yrs Exp. But will my other education and experience be considered ?

NO.

Only govt. accredited UNIVERSITIES' degree considers as education no other institutes course qualify for it, not even IBM or bigger then IBM.

So, even with 3 years Bachelor degree + 50 years of exp, one will be considered under EB3 only unless person is multinational company's executive then he/she can file in EB1.

Industry certifications don't matter at all.

Only real academic degrees from real, accredited universities matter.
