EB2 Green Card

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.

EB-2

Question details

In order to qualify for EB2 under advance degrees, is it sufficient to have a MS degree from US univ or should the job requirement state so?

The job must also require (genuinely) EB-2 level qualifications.

PERM is approved under EB2

Question details

My PERM is approved under EB2. My education is 3 yrs Diploma+ 3 yrs B.Tech + 1.5 Yrs M.Tech + 8 yrs of exp at the time of PERM). All my education is from India. Do you see any problem with my education in I-140?

There are some variables. Generally speaking, if the BTech is supposed to be a 4-year degree and you got it in three because of your diploma, you should be fine.

EB2

Question details

Could you please advise the average time it takes to obtain GC through EB2 category? I've got Master's in International Business and 7 years of experience in the USA and EU. I got a job offer from the States and I would like to file the petition.

The biggest delay for most people is in the priority date movement. Check out the Visa Bulletin and the PERM processing times. That should give you a good idea.

EB-2 Eligibility

Question details

Had a question regarding the EB-2 eligibility.My Perm was recently approved in EB-2 category.Had a question about education before we file the 140. I've a bachelors in Computing from UK which was a 3 year course and after that I have a Masters from UK in the computing which was a 1 year course. My question- is this qualification eligible of the EB-2 category. Just want to ensure that there is no RFE in 140.

Impossible to predict. It all depends upon the type of degrees and the language used in the Form ETA 9089

My Wife and I received our GC on Feb 2010. Mr. Khanna law firm helped me to change from EB-3 to EB-2. The law firm team is outstanding, very helpful, expertise, hard working (I really surprised when i received calls even on holidays) and exceeded my expectations. I especially want to thank Mathew, Bharathi, and Prerna for their professionalism, ethics, courtesy, and prompt responses. Me and my wife truly appreciates and very grateful for Rajiv and his staff. Thanks & Regards, Renganathan

Cross chargeability

Question details

On H1B, born in India, EB2 I-140 approved but cannot apply for I-485 since PD is Nov 2008. Is cross-chargeability applicable in this case, if I marry GF who was born in country other than India/China?
Is it OK if the GF is not here right now or on other visa category than H1B? Will marrying enable both of us to file for I-485 immediately?

Cross changeability is possible if your spouse was born in a country other than your country of birth. She can file her I-485 only if she is in USA.

Hi: I would like to thank Mr. Rajiv Khanna for giving me and my employer some guidance on my case. The conference call with him was well worth the time and the money - his staff was very professional in setting it up and during the call he was very helpful and was not at all rushed. What I liked was even though we ran onto the next appointment's time he asked us to jump back in the call after sometime to make sure all our queries were answered. Thank You Again.  

PERM classification EB2

Question details

I am technology professional with nearly 9 years of work experience. I am currently working as a software consultant in a trading firm in the US and will be graduating from a part time MBA program (concentrations in Finance) this december. If I plan to apply for PERM next year, will I be eligible to apply under EB-2 US Masters degree, given that my MBA in finance will help in understanding complex financial principles and writing algorithms that support day to day trading? In this case, will my previous experience be evaluated?

As long as the job requires a Master's degree and you have earned that degree by the time you file your PERM, you should be able to get EB-2.
