Please update: mine is EB3 instead of EB2

Gurus,
I just know that my company's lawyer filed EB3 for me instead of EB2. Actually the lawyer filed EB3 for every one with a Master degree in my company. I am very upset by this news.

Can anybody please tell me - why mine is under EB3 category even though I got the Master degree before working?

Thanks a lot and good luck to everybody!

EB2 and EB3 only come in play at the next stage. With a master degree you should be able to file EB2 if the ads required an advanced degree.
 
Thank you for your reply MDWatch! I guess I need to check the ads and see if it requires an advanced degree.
Also since I will start 7th year H1B very soon, I am considering Canada now - Another money consuming thing.

Why not refile a new PERM application with your employer ? Your PD is almost 2005 so you have not much to lose ....
 
I consulted with the company lawyer last year about switching to PERM, and was told that since I don't have much time left before the 7th year extension of H1-B, I am not eligible for PERM. I need to file LC for at least one year to request the extension of H1B.
In addition, the lawyer will file EB3 for me again, so what's the point of switching?
Also, the money-graber lawyer will charge even more for which I am not willing to pay again. The lawyer charged $8000 for the RIR EB3, she might charged $4000 more for the PERM.
Anyway, thank you for your advice MDwatch!

Can you go to a different lawyer ? Plus you can submit a new application for a new job and keep the old one pending ... then you get extension based on the old one :)

Thanks a lot for your support.

It is hard work to go through the threads in order to update the spreadsheet. We are looking forward to the support of people like yourself or Saknia.

Want to know know why PBEC is so slow ... try data entry ;)

LOL...Yes!!!! Data entry is a lot of "fun"!!! :)

Thanks to txtramdream and saknia for being the worker bees in gathering the links for updates.

I request other forum members to post the links in this thread if they notice a novice member posting in another thread. Thank you all for helping us take care of the tracker. :)
 
Eb2/3

I'm in the same boat. I have a master degree and was filed as EB3. I didn't know this till last year (my PD was in 09/2002). It doesn't matter whether you have a master degree or not - if the job description says that it requires BS+5 years or master, you will be qualified for EB2, otherwise EB3.

There is a special category for EB2 that you might be able to apply at this point - EB2 for exceptional capbility. You have to meet three of the six criteria to apply for it. For more details, you many want to ask your lawyer and employer.

Thank you MDwatch and mvinays to keep this spreadsheet alive.

Don't know how the PBEC and DBEC can do the synchronization. DBEC seems to be faster, but they simply don't process any TR (still at state level) cases. It makes me feel so lost when I saw DBEC certify the Feb 2005 case. PBEC seems to work on those TR (state level) cases by posting the ad. I don't know if any TR (state level) cases with PBEC's ad. posted have been certified. Anyone from PBEC TR state level ??? Please comment.

Thank you txtramdream. My PD is Aug 2001, Indiana. Attorney filed my case as RIR EB2 but it has been recorded as TR Case (Traditional) in Dallas backlog center (DBEC). I got 45DL on Oct 2005. But sofar I didn't get the approval.As you said, since it is TR, it might be taking time. I asked my attorney. He told that both TR and RIR are going on same track and there won't be any difference. I think that is not true. Will it take more time to get approval?. Thanks.

Hey txtramdream, is it true that no State cases have been approved by DBEC? That sure is disappointing...I vaguely remember I've seen posts indicating State case approvals but I could be wrong.
