Filing EB-2

Submitted by Chief Editor on Nov 19th 2010

I have a BE (4 yrs) from India and MS (2 yrs) from US and have 2 years work experience. I have to start my green card process in 2011 and I have good chances of promotion to senior engineer also next year.
1. Should I wait for the promotion before starting GC process in order to qualify for EB2?
2. My company has a requirement of BS+5yrs exp for senior level. Will BS+MS+2 yrs exp be equivalent?
3. Should the job description specifically state BS+5 yrs OR MS+2yrs, or either is fine?

You need to speak with your lawyers to decide on the timing of the filing. For EB-2 a requirement of minimum Master's degree or in the alternative Bach. + 5 years of post bach experience qualifies you for an EB-2.
