Choosing between EB-2 and EB-3
I have a question about EB-2 versus EB-3 for an employment-based case.
I heard that someone with a bachelor’s degree falls under EB-3, while someone with a master’s degree falls under EB-2. Since I have a master’s degree, do I have to go through EB-2 no matter what?
Many people strongly prefer EB-2 because it tends to move faster, and want to qualify for EB-2 based on a bachelor’s degree plus qualifying work experience, but in practice, if you simply apply a basic formula to your experience and submit it to USCIS as EB-2, it’s often not accepted. You should consult thoroughly with an immigration attorney and carefully weigh the options before deciding whether to file under EB-2 or EB-3.
