Can we use the time before getting the promotion?
Lets assume you had a MS degree when you joined the company and had 1-2 years of experience and you spend 3 years under a Software Engineer designation. If you were to file for the Perm at this stage it would go under EB3 since your job (Software Engineer) does not require MS degree. If your job does not require a MS degree then it is EB3. Correct me if I am wrong.
Then you get a promotion to Senior Software Engineer. Now the job requirements have changed for a senior level job. It requires a MS degree.
Once you get the promotion can you count any time spent at the company before getting the promotion? The job duties and responsibilities are almost the same.
Is it possible to file under EB2 since the senior level job now requires a MS degree?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
