HI ALL
I am new to PERM so had few questions.
I am in the process of applying in PERM. Since I have a masters degree I would like to apply in EB2 as I have MS +5. But my attorney is saying that for me to get perm eb2 approval, we have to show MS as minimum requirement and BS+5 alone will not suffice. He is saying that if we specify an alternate education and exp as BS+5 as minimum in 9089 draft, then at I140 state chances are that USCIS will put the application under Eb3 instead of EB2. I dont get it. He is listing MS as a requirement but also specifying an alternate education and exp to increase the chances of getting PERM approval. But at the same time he is saying that if we list just MS then PERM denial chances are high. he is saying the mention of alternate edu+exp in 9089 as BS+5 increases app to be put in Eb3 but at the same time decreases chances of PERM denial as I have already started my 6th year. So getting a denial after 2-3 months will put me at risk of not able to extend H1.
I have been told by my attorney that PERM denials have been coming if the requirement is just MS. But having the language in 9089 that BS+5 as alternate is more appropriate but can be used by USCIS to put in EB3 instead of EB2.
Any recent experiences will help
