Hello everyone, I wanted some input here:
I am currently in the process of obtaining my MBA, and will be done in May 2007. I am also working full time and am on H1B. My employer has agreed to sponsor my green card and can start the process immediately.
My question is: Should I finish my MBA and then file the GC under EB2 classification? I heard that it is the original employment offer that is counted in the GC process (i.e., I was hired because I had a Bachelor's degree, but the job does not require a Masters). Is that true? So essentially, getting an advanced degree does not count since only the original employment requirments are considered?
My second question then follows: is the loophole there that I can ask my employer to re-hire me for a job (new offer letter) that does require a Masters? In that case, would I have to file a new H1 even though it is for the same company, but different job (kinda like a promotion)?
Would really appreciate some help on this. Seeing the backlog situation, it seems logical to finish an advanced degree if it would help me a bit!
Thanks!!
