Pls advice. I was told my the company that they will file me under EB3 even though i have a masters degree in related area. The reason they gave me was that the position did not require an advanced degree. I am a systems analyst. i heard EB3 is very slow. Is anyone else in the same boat ? Pls post your thoughts. Thanks

I had the same problem
My company was going to do the same thing for me. But then I talked to HR and also to my Manager. I explained the whole situation to my manager and told her that it would take too long for the whole processing. She then agreed to look into it and see if she could find a way out for me. Since my job responsibily in future would be greater than what they are now. They agreed that they would file with my future job description in mind and not with the current position requirements. Hence they had to advertise again for the new position to get RIR and have now filed me under EB 2.
Talk to your manager and see if they can find a similar way out for you. But right now both EB 2 and EB3 are almost going at the same speed I think......

> You probably are not aware that although an MS or BS+5 years experience to file
in the EB2 category is essential, it is not fundamental. The EB2 or EB3 catogary is more
to do with the job and a little less to do with your background. Your company has to first
classify the position as EB2 or EB3; that is, can a person with a BS degree do this job?
If he can, then it is an EB3 position. No, a master\'s is essential for the position, and the
minimum requirement to qualify for the position is an MS or BS+5 years, then the job
can be classified as an EB2. Next they look for the candidate and the candidate has to
have the requisite background, BS or MS. So just because you have a master\'s does
not automatically call for them to file an EB2; the job should be classified as such and
needs a minimum requirement of a masters.
Talk to your HR and if they can create a position for which, the requirement is only a
master\'s you may be able to then utilize your MS and apply under the EB2 category.
Remember, that for the RIR, EB3 is perhaps better at present since both EB2/EB3
presently have the same priority date (if you are from India). Then, your company is
saying to DOL that although our minimum requirement is only a BS, we are still unable
to fill this spot; and we\'ve found this very strong candidate with an MS who we are ready
to hire!!
So, unless you think the EB3 category will not remain current, my advise is to stay put!!
Good Luck!!
