EB2 Green Card

GC Processing and EB2

Question details

I have a Masters degree from US and based on the forum and Q&A I think I'd qualify for EB2 category for GC. I am with company A and am contemplating if I should go forward with GC processing or change the job. I am completing 4 yrs on H1 by this month end and would like to make an educated decision given the companies are not eager to hire on H1 if it is completing 6 yrs soon.
Can you please let me know how long the process may take if it has to be initiated now? I would be interested in premium processing of I-140, adjustment of status and EAD.

For people born in countries that have an EB2 backlog, times can vary greatly from 3-4 years to longer depending upon a number of variables. One big advantage of getting at least to the I-140 approved stage is that you can carry your priority date to the next employer and get H-1 extension beyond six years.

We would like to specially thank  Matthew , Suman , Prerna , Bharati & Vijay for all their work  and advise that helped me get my GC approved . THANK YOU ALL . Regards Chandan Chandra  

EB2 and Clinical Specialist

Question details

I have a concern regarding EB2 application in my current employer, I will complete my 5 years experience next year and they are willing to promote me as a Clinical Specialist to count my 1 year and 1/2 as a staff/lower position with them to complete my 5years experience. My question is, is it possible that they could sponsor me for EB2 after they promote me as Clinical Specialist even if my 1 year and 1/2 experience with them?

Under the current law, it is possible to use the expience gained with the same employer if the labor certain job is more than fifty percent different from the earlier positions held with the same employer. Only a competent lawyer can help you assess the chances.

EB2 Eligibility

Question details

I want to know whether I am eligibile for EB2. Following are the key information. Is it a requirement to have 5 years experiences outside of US ? I have combined experiences of 6 years (US +India).

Education - B.Tech (Electronics) in 2004 from India
Experiences - 6 Years ( 3 years in India and 3 Years in US)

With a four-year Bach. Degree and more than five years of post Bach experience, you should be able to have a shot at EB2.

EB2, volunteer work counted as an experience?

Question details

I am an OT practicing here in the US and came from another country. I graduated with BSOT and had an OT VOLUNTEER work for 2 years in an adult setting back home. Would that count as a part of the 5 years experience? And from that 2 years, I was not yet licensed OT for the first 6months.

GENERALLY speaking, for EB-2, there is no requirement that I know of mandating paid experience. Volunteer experience could potentially be used.

EB2 eligibility

Question details

I have completed my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science Engineering (4yrs) and working as a Subject Matter Expert in US on L1B visa with a work experience of 4yrs. I have completed 2 Microsoft certifications and AICPCU certifications. Will I be eligible for processing Green card on EB-2 category ?

You will need 5 years of post-bachelor's experience. Certifications do not usually help.

We just did recently receive our US Green Card (EB2) for both my wife and me. Keeping all those melodrama apart, in short, is extremely pleased and has no words to express ourselves. We want to thank everyone working with Law Offices of Rajiv (Immigration.com) and especially Mathew, Suman-Ji, Bharathi, Anna, Rita and last but not the least Rajiv himself. On a true note, they are extremely professional and super prompt in answering any of your stupidest questions on Immigration. Rajiv is extremely desperate in taking cases through to positive destiny using and interpreting every piece of immigration law that according to me, a lot of his competitors would try and avoid.

In last 6-years they have done our multiple successful H1B/H4 renewals, this Green Card case, and hopefully would be the one helping us on our US Citizenship process, about 5-years from now.

All of you guys out there, if you have any immigration issues, and want a little piece of mind, please do not wait. schedule an immediate appointment with them and be happy from thereon.

Just for information, our US born baby girl is about 2.5 months old now. Once she grows up a bit, would surely want to pay them a visit. We wish them all the very best as of now and in future.

With the good movement in the Aug 2010 bulletin, the AOS got approved for my family. Without the guidance of the entire team at Law offices of Rajiv Khanna that worked on my case, this would not have been possible. To name a few that i remember starting with Rajiv who gave me good confidence to hire him for the services during our intial conversations: Rajiv, Prerna, Richa, Moahana, Mathew, Anna, Leslie, Heather, Mark. I am sorry if i have missed out anyone and the people behind the scenes. Each one of these guys have been amazing and great and never was i disappointed in the whole process (except for the long wait, which is not your fault). I very fondly remember the visagate episode in 2007. When the word spread around about it, it was late in the evening and someone was there in your office to answer my queries, which helped me make a decision to drive overnight, down to Staunton from New Haven CT, along with my 4 month old, my wife and my father in law to reach there early morning and finish the process of filing for the I-140 and I-485. Everybody at the office was very helpful even under the stress that they were in when being bombarded by so much to do in such a short time. Additionally i believe the right advise was always delivered in a timely manner and everyone worked with me to help my case progress at a good pace. I cannot thank you enough for all your help and guidance and would very highly recommend your services to anyone. Thanks again for your help. Warm Regards Yash Agarwal

I have had a very good experience on my Green Card process from the attorneys at immigration.com. My application process started off around 2007 and till date, all the time I have received friendly response from all the staff from this attorney(I have interacted with around 3 or 4 people during my green card process) Specifically, I want to highlight Sheena Gill on her approach, care and attention she shows.  My green card process had some hiccups in the form of I140 RFE and she did a great job on responding to that RFE.  If not her, I may have been in trouble.  She spent extra effort in understanding the reason of RFE and then suggested me to bring various evidence, did excellent job in compiling them and writing up a detailed RFE response. I was also very impressed, when Sheena tried tell me that my I485 was approved.  She tried to call me, but due to mobile signal issues, I was not reachable.  She dug out my home phone number and contacted my spouse to find out where I am.  In comparison, others would have just left a voice mail and could have waited until I call them back. Apart from the Green Card process, I have received tips and help on other USCIS related matters from all the team at immigration.com, with out making me feel that they are doing favor. I have recommended these attorneys to few of my friends and will keep doing that in future.
