EB2 with online masters degree
Question details
I have done my 5 years of Bachelors(traditional school) in IT from USA and also my 2 years of MBA through distance education(online) from accredited(Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC)) University in USA.
I need to know if I qualify under EB2 Category(provided that job requires advanced degree). My employer wants to evaluate my Master degree because he thinks that Distance education is not recognized.
The key here is to find if the degree is accredited. Get together with the school.
EB2 for a State job
Question details
I have been offered a state job, whose requirements are a Bachelor's degree with a 1 year experience. However, I have a US-based Master's degree. From what I understood from the text above, my green card can not be filed under EB2. I have talked to my employer about it and they have indicated that they are willing to help me in any way they can. If I were to request them to hire me in another position and advertise the new job requirements (Master's) after I'm hired, will I be eligible under the EB2 category?
You are correct. You will not qualify for an EB2 unless the job also legitimately requires a post graduate degree or Bach. with five years of experience at a minimum.
EB2 Priority Date Cross Changeability...
Question details
Let me first thank you for guiding hundreds of us with your valuable advice. My sincere thanks to you. I have a question regarding the inter-changeability of EB2 prority dates. I'm an Indian citizen and my wife is a Russian citizen, born in Russia. She will be filing as my dependent on my green card. I read on some online forums that I can user her country's priority date ("current" as of today) for the green card. Is this correct?
Yes, that is correct. This is referred to as "Cross Changeability."
Mr. Khanna and staff were very prompt in responding to questions. Mr. Vijay & Ms. Nimia took special care in scrutinizing the papers and always went out of their way to get my papers processed in time.
