rahul412 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 i have a gc in process in eb2, with priority date in april 2010. my wife just graduated from college with a PhD - does that entitle me to change from EB2 to EB1 for my gc processing... she is in the process of finding employment. I guess she has to be eligible for GC under EB1. Link to comment
omshiv Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Just having a Phd does not entitle one to EB1..and you cannot jump to EB1 based on her qualifications. Link to comment
ven7782 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Just having a Phd does not entitle one to EB1..and you cannot jump to EB1 based on her qualifications. First a determination has to be made if she qualifies for EB1. If she does qualify then yes, you can be her co-applicant and get GC along with her. One of my colleague who was stuck in EB3 got his GC through his wife in EB1. His wife finished her Phd and qualified for EB1. omshiv get your facts right before answering with a no each time.

pontevecchio Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 The answer to the original question is a resounding NO. If your spouse qualifies for and gets EB1 approved you can get the Gc as a family member and spouse.. Link to comment
