importance of Job title?

I recently started my GC process. The advertising phase is done and though I already have a PhD the application was filed with minimum requirement as a Bachelors degree. This puts me under EB3 category.

The argument he gave was the someone else had been hired by my company with the same job title but did not have a Masters. No one else I know currently has been in this position without a Masters.

Any one else had a similar experience?

What are my options to "re-petition" later so as to qualify as EB2 without starting from scratch?

If thats not possible, if I convice my boss to push for a slightly different Job title can I re-apply?

Or is my only option to get under a EB2 to change companies/jobs?

Any help is appreciated!
 
If you can get your job title to say Bachelors plus 5 years post-baccalaureate experience then you would still be EB2 (assuming you can show 5 years experience yourself).

Here is the INS explaination guidelines which shows that if you have 5 years experience in a related field you qualify for EB-2. Send it to your attorney and your boss.

The reason why attorneys dont like applying for eb-2 is that they will have to write an explaination letter to USCIS on how you qualify as EB-2. Also as EB-3 your case is pending longer so they can say i have XXX number of cases.
