Hi,

Can anyone please let me know the exact requirements for PERM - EB2 filing ?

I have more than 5years experience in the field i am working in, prior to joining the current company and Bachelors in Engineering. Can i apply for EB2 ?

My company has started recruitment process and the only requirement which is been asked in the ads is - 5years of experience + bachelors in enigeering. Is this requirement sufficient for filing in EB2 category.

Lawyer says my case can be filed in EB2. But I want to be sure that this is possible.

Please advice..

Thanks

Yes. You can file under EB2. Your lawyer is right. A minimum job requirement of BS+5 yrs on the PERM application will qualify you for EB2 category. Further, since the 5 yrs of experience you have gained is not from your current LC sponsoring employer, you should be fine.

Best of luck!
 
Thanks

mvinays,

Thanks for clarifying that. In my case, do i need to produce a business necessity document. How important would be the answer to H12 question.

Please advice
 
Just make sure your 5 years of experience are following the bachelor degree. If any of these 5 years were gained before the BS or while you were studying , then those years do not count.
Please verify that with someone else. This is what I know about EB2.

Yes, you are right. Only post-Bachelor's experience counts. Experience gained before getting Bachelor's is not useful for EB2.

If you answer "No" for H-12 on ETA 9089, then you need to produce business necessity document.

Answering "Yes" or "No" for H-12 depends on SVP Level of your occupation and SVP Level of your minimum job requirements.
 
I inferred based on the wage suggested through a link provided in this forum

O*Net™ JobZone: 4 -- Education & Training Code: 5-Bachelor's degree

and SVP >7 and <8.

Hope i got this correct.
