I am on EB3 category and have been working in the IT sector for the last 6 years and one year ago I completed my MBA too. I am currently working as a contractor and using my EAD. I am on Adjustment of status right now. Is it possible to change my category from EB3 to EB2?
It is possible, but the green card will have to be started again from PERM.
The U.S. Consulate in Mumbai, India erroneously reported that India EB-2 is current for February 2011. Please note that is FALSE. India EB-2 is backed up to May 2006.

According to the February 2011 Visa Bulletin EB-2 India shows a priority date of May 8, 2006.

I have BSC from India + 2 years diploma in NIIT (In H1 and L1 they considered my diploma as a master degree ..I guess) in India and 10 years of experience. Can I apply GC in EB2 category?
Diplomas are unpredictable. I think EB-2 is doubtful.
I have a BE (4 years) degree in Computer Science from India and have a work experience of 7.5 years in the related field. Am I eligible to apply GC in EB2 category?
You appear to be qualified for EB-2.
I am working for one of the largest companies as mechanical engineer. I am shifting from Mechanical engineer to Product development engineer job within the same company. The job requirement is BS + 2-5 years of experience. I have
Bachelors 4 Years, Masters in USA, Research Assistant 1 year 4 months, Teaching Assistant 10 months, Experience as a Mechanical engineer 3 years 7 months.
Am I eligible for eb2 category?
The minimum requirements for the job are 2 years exp. This job does not qualify for EB-2. You do.
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).
I have a 4 years Bachelors Degree in Civil Engineering and I am working in IT Industry for the last 13 years with documented progressive experience. Do I qualify for EB2 or EB3?
EB2 is possible
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.
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 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.
