Would 2 years of work experience in the field equal a bahelors degree? I'm trying to determine if my position is "professional" or nonprofessional
Thanks!!
Thanks!!
I think you're going to get screwed on this. Who came up with the ad? There are very strict requirements for how the ad needs to be written. I'd be surprised if DOL will even accept the ad for PERM.
look at what he said.....there was no mention of education in the ad. That means just about anyone can apply. what are you going to do when there are 200 resumes with 5-to 10 years experience and no degree?
wait, like therealcanadian said, I am looking ahead at the I-140 form and the box sais "petition type: "a professional (at a minimum possessing a bachelor's degree or a foreign degree equivalent to a US bachelors degree) OR a skilled worker (requiring at least two years of training or experience)
Requirements for TN visa http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/88146.pdf list specific requirements for specific professions in the list.
For some professions, the requirements are in terms of degree. For some, in terms of experience. For some, for both.
No way could you use "equivalent" of diploma by having some work experience, if specific requirement to educational degree is listed for your profession.
I am not so sure. The original posting was into the group called TN status, and it did not say anything about PERM.raevsky,
We're talking PERM here, not TN.
I know that. That is one of the reasons I clarified the situation by making a post here.The requirements for TN and PERM are not the same.
That is incorrect. For instance,And just to be clear, there are no TN categories that require both a degree and experience.
Computer systems anayst - baccalaureate degree or post-secondary diploma and three years experience
Industrial designer - baccalaureate degree or post-secondary diploma and three years experience
You - could be. I am mostly interested in what canucked08 (the original author) was thinking about.we're talking PERM like nelsona said.
actually there were about 40 responses, only 12 met the application requirements and none of those had the required skills.
I'm a bit more relieved now while I'm waiting for a DOL response. EB3 is better than nothing!
Its true, I'm taking a huge pay cut in exchange for getting sponsored. (I should have been a nurse like my father wanted!!
