EB-2

14 years ago By Chief Editor

Question details

I have a Masters in Biomedical Engineering and work in a company that implements eQMS for Biologics, Med Device and Pharma companies. I work as a Senior Consultant. If I apply for my GC, would it qualify for EB2? Also, once I start the application process, if I leave my employer and join another employer, would I have to restart the GC process from the new employer?

You COULD qualify for EB-2 depending upon your qualifications and the job requirements. If you leave before I-140 is approved, you may get nothing out of the process. But leaving after I-140 approval gets you your priority date to carry forward.

Question details

Can I change jobs and file PERM and I-140 under EB2 instead prior EB3 with the new employer. How risky the situation is? I can stay with my current employer, but it is going to take at another 3 years to get my GC under EB3. My PD is Feb 2007.

Accredited degrees

Question details

I have a 2 years B.Com from back home & a CA. I have 10yrs of Account exp, plus a CPA. My firm's lawyers refused to file EB-2 & insisted on EB-3. I know two people form another account firm with the same credentials (even same university) who filed EB-2 & got GC. When I got my H1B, I got foreign credentials evaluated & received equivalence to BBA (Accounting & Finance) based on B.Com & CA. But Lawyers insisted that for GC process USCIS won't consider CA.

Your lawyers are right in that CA is not accepted as education by USCIS. Speak with a credentials evaluation agency about Master's degrees.

I want to thank Mr. Rajiv Khanna and Richa Narang my case manager for helping with my PERM application. Mr Rajiv Khanna and his team are very professional, detail oriented and up to date. My PERM was audited in 2009 and Richa Narang made sure that all the documentation was completed and the details were answered promptly. Mr Rajiv Khanna provided excellent guidance in obtaining required letters to answer the Audit notification. My PERM was certified last week, This is such a great relief because I am in my 6th yr of H1-B. I look forward to work with this great team for the next steps. I would recommend Mr Rajiv Khanna and his team to everyone.

EB-2

Question details

I have 3 years bachelors in computer science and 2 years masters in computer science in India..My education evaluation says masters..so is it possible to apply in EB-2?

It is possible, but your lawyers must assess which route is best for you: evaluate the two degrees to be equiv. to a Bach. and use Bach + 5 for EB-2 OR just use the Master's degree (risky).

Comment

I had a conference call with Attorney Khanna. I was given very specific and precise information which cleared all my doubts and being a friendly person helps to ease and think during conversation if any questions are raised. Truly speaking, its a dialogue rather than monologue which I have seen from others. I am satisfied and strongly recommand his help whoever wants. Good Luck.

Question details

My husband has an I-140 approved from Company A ( Priority Date April 2008 , EB2). He is now eligible for EB1 under Employer B ( He is currently on L1 A ). Can his priority date from EB2 be ported to EB1 ?

FAQ Transcript

Video Transcript

The answer is Yes. The main thing is priority dates for EB-2 and EB-1 can be ported and there is no particular format for this. This is supposed to be automatic. The government is supposed to keep a track of that. More...
