srishail Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hi experts, Please help me to understand my eligibility for EB2 Category. 1. I have 3 year Bachelor’s Degree from Osmania University BCA (Bachelor Of Computer Application). Completed in 2003. 2. I have 2 year PGDIS from Australian University (Post Graduate Diploma In Information Systems). Please note that this PGDIS was NOT A vocational/distance/parttime study. Completed in 2005. Since 2006 I have been working on H1B. So, I have 5+ years of experience. I have done my education evaluation from AACRAO who stated that, "my PGDIS in combination with my BCA is comparable to a Bachelor’s Degree from regionally-accredited University in United States". The other USA based evaluator also reviewed my education documents along with experience letters and confirmed that I am eligible for EB2 category. (referred by my employers attorney) Question - I heard that, USCIS does not consider the education as combination of 2 separate courses, but go only with 1 independent course. If this is true, any of my above education will NOT be equalant to USA-Bachelor’s Degree as AACRAO stated that both PGDIS+BCA combination will be equalant to US Bachelors. Could you please let me know if I am eligible for EB2 Category? Link to comment

sanath_UK Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 An easy 3 year degree and a complex 2 year course doesn't equate to a professional course that is required by EB2. i know it is more about experience in EB2, but please not flood EB2 with 3 year degree courses. H1 program has already been put under the microscope due to 3 year degrees and other fraud reasons to get h1 stampings, petition approvals etc.. Link to comment
Attorney_15 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Generally, when AACRAO evaluations use the term 'combination' it is not meant in the sense of combining different degree programs into a mish-mash. It could help though to also have evidence that admission to the PGD was based on the Bachelor's degree. Link to comment
Kal.911 Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Considering that you have a Bachelors equivalency to that of US education, what does your job requirement say ? And the 5 years of experience is gained by working for the sponsoring employer ? Link to comment
