srujanarao Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 Hi, I graduated with a Masters degree in 2009 december. And i started working in october 2010 with a consulting firm until sept 2011. And since sept 2011 i have been working with a new consulting firm and i am still with them. I plan to start my GC process now, and i only have one experience letter from my previous employer for 1 year. My present employer who is filing my GC says he cannot do EB 2 for me. Can anyone please tell me if i am eligible for eb2 or eb3? And if i am not eligible for eb2, may i know the reason why? Thanks a lot.
rahul412 Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 EB category is decided by the GC job requirements. Without knowing that no one can answer your question..
Attorney_21 Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 srujanarao: You haven't provided enough information. Normally, a Master's Degree in a relevant field from a U.S. University would make you (personally) eligible for an EB2 filing, but the offered job must ALSO require a Master's Degree, which not all positions do (if the job only requires a Bachelor's and 1 year of experience, for example, it's not an EB2 position). (FYI - EB2 is also possible if the job requires a Bachelor's Degree and 5 years of progressive experience). The requirements for the position are defined (for the most part) by the employer - so if the employer says the job is not EB2-level, then its not EB2-level and there's not much that you can do about it. Your Master's degree is irrelevant if the job does not require it.
livliv Posted July 9, 2015 Report Posted July 9, 2015 Your qualifications don't determine EB level. The minimum requirements for your job determine that. If minimum requirement is Bachelors and you have a PhD, it is still EB3.
