EB2 Green Card
EB2 Master's equivalency and employer
Question details
Regarding EB-2 application, which is more likely to be approved (or faster), the Master's equivalency (BS graduate to be evaluated in a university to be master's equivalent) OR the 5 years progressive experience? There's only one Occupational Therapist that I know personally who was approved and it was through the Master's equivalency (she didn't even have 5 years experience). Also, would it rely/depend on the employer's capability to support documents or does it also depend on how meticulous the lawyer is with the details to be submitted in the USCIS?
It all begins with the lawyers. So, make sure your counsel are meticulous and plan for every possible eventuality they can think of. The job HAS to be described truthfully.

After a long journey in becoming a permanent resident, with the help of Rajiv and his team, I have become a PR recently. Had to go through some tough situations with the immigration during the process. Rajiv and his team did an excellent job in helping me through those tough situations and were always available to answer all my questions and provide valuable advise. Thank you much Rajiv and all the supporting staff who have contributed. Thank You.

Finding Mr. Rajiv Khanna, was the best thing that could have happened to me for achieving my GC approval. My GC case was little bit complicated coz i moved to different location before my 140 approval but he handled my case with professionalism and dedication like no other. He explained all the steps of the process and kept me informed on how things were progressing. He gathered all the necessary documents, was always attentive to me, receiving my calls and answering my questions with great patience. Ms. Heather and Mr. Mark helped me always with all my concerns and resolving my issues independently or/and with the help of Mr Rajiv. Infinite thanks to Mr. Rajiv, Ms. Heather & Mr. Mark for being always on the lookout. I can finally say I’m American resident in record time, completely changed my life and I am absolutely sure I would not have done it without their help. Recommend 100% .. they are the best … I will always be indebted to them! Great lawyer with efficient Team!!

I had an accident and am on disability while my green card adjustment of status application ( form I-485 ) has been pending for over 4 years. My I-140 had been approved about 5 years back but my case has been caught up in the visa backlogs at USCIS and Department of State. I wanted to know if there was any provision for help in the immigration laws, in case I am sent for long term disability or my employment is terminated before I receive my green card. I learnt that employment and disability are subjects to be discussed with a benefits or employment attorney. The only immigration benefits are via AC 21 or via a private bill. Also, that one should not loose the advance parole anytime while the AOS is pending. I want to thank Mr. Rajiv Khanna for his generosity with time and expert guidance. Over the phone I found him to have a very pleasant personality. he had me feel comfortable and didnt seem money minded at all.
