Hello,

I've been working for a company for 5 years and this is my first job. I have a BS degree. Now my company files PERM for me but the company's lawyer says I can only file under EB-3. Can anyone let me know if I can file my PERM case under EB-2 instead? And what are the steps if I want to do this? I really appreciate your help.
 
It is always, the previous experience thats counts.
It is safe to go with EB-3, as for EB-2 you need to have business reasons, and likewise.
 
settling_withgc,

Thanks for the reply. I think my company has good enough business reasons to file my case as EB-2 :-). But do I need to tell my company's HR to change my job descripcions so it matches with EB-2 qualifications? I'm thinking about changing the company just to be qualified for EB-2. Do you think this is a good step or not? Thanks again.

First, you can only use exp you gained before joining the company.

If you want to you that 5 year exp that you get from your current company, your company MUST prove that you are in different possition from the last 5 years. It is hard but do able. You need to have a very very good attorney to help.

EB will be decided at I140 stage. If you file PERM with EB2 and don't have good document to support that for I140, your LC will be used by other person :) since your I140 will be denied (I have seen that case)

Actually, if he changes possition from programer/software engineer to field engineer or sale engineer. He could use his experience gain from programer/software engineer but need to prepare strong support statement on those.
