Does perm require a certain educational background.
I have my bachelors in arts and computer diplomas, but I have 16 Years of education and I have 5 years exp in software and currently working on H1B.

Can my education background affect my GC chances?

I am thinking of enrolling a part time University program here.
will it help, if i try for GC after this degree?
 
The less education - the better. (in immigration terms)

PERM doesn't require any degree. You can be unskilled under EB3.

phd gives you nothing but selfconfidence.
Why do you think you are better with a degree?
It is always better to be a diaper changer.
More chances for the aproval at any stage.
Less payroll to pay and less chances to get I-140 denied because of your sponsor bad "good standing".

Phd gives you only one advantage. EB2 category positions. More visas and no cut off dates yet. But it is hard to find a proper employer and there are more people applying for the job.

Phd is better only if you have an apropriate job and the employer ready to file I140 on your behalf. Otherwise it is useless. This is my personal opinion.

Anjey,
Looks like you are phd; not able to get approval, so pissed off.
I am here to seek help, to get some information.
Had you talked about relevent stuff than phd, It would have been more helpfull to me. Anyways....

Is there anybody else, who can help me on this.
I have 3 years non science degree plus 1 yr PGDCA from university.

I was going thru different posts, which gave me an impression that 4 years of formal education + good experience + private certifications/courses are helpfull to get approval from DOL.
But what about INS, Does anybody know of any approvals in past of similer case?

GreatGuru... can you help on this??
 
Look, I am just an observer. I do not care what you think.
I just wanted to help a little. It is not my fault you do not take it seriously.
I know people with doctorates having LC as a caregiver!

Actually there are plenty of such individuals.

You have to understand - it is not about your abilities, but about the immigration rules and the law.

There is no INS anymore. It is called USCIS now.
Take each bit of information and think about it.

You have to think in advance, because it is your life, not your lawyers.
If you apply in a wrong category - you face a denial at any stage.

Think. Think. PHD throws you into salary range of $60,000 and higher.
Then the I-140 can get denied, because the'll find your employer had bad revenue in 2002. You loose.

Do you understand that?

The same thing with your job description. Your employer can face an audit!
It is enough to have 1 officer with a prepared resume sent over to your employer and if you ignore it - you are screwed.

People at the USCIS are not stupid. They know what's going on.
It is important you understand that too.

You can do whatever you want.
You can ignore this information.
You can spend $5000 bucks and loose.
It is your life nad your money.
Nobody cares.
