Hi,

First, thank you so much for having such a helpful site.

I am about to file for the Green Card

I was hired for “Associate Software Engineer I” position which has a minimum job requirement of Bachelor’s Degree. I was hired while I am working on my thesis for the masters. I filled my H1-B under that position using Bachelor’s Degree.


Currently, I am in “Associate Software Engineer II” position and the minimum job requirement is Masters Degree. I have finished my masters .I would be filling for the green card under current position hence would I be able to apply under EB-2 category? My lawyer mentioned otherwise.


Also, I am from Sri Lanka does it effect a lot in waiting time if I go under EB-2 vs EB-3? The problem is my lawyer was saying it is kind of difficult prove the need using EB3. Is this true?

Thx in advance.
