Here is my work history:
Sept 2005 : I was masters student
Oct 2005 : I started working on pre-completion OPT without defending thesis (without completing masters)
Apr 2006 : The company filed for my H1b under Bachelors degree
Oct 2006 : My OPT period ends, H1b started and I defended my thesis (completed masters) all at the same time
Oct 2007 : The company prepares to file for Green card and hence start labor certification process.
My questions:
Can my company mention Masters degree as a requirement on job description for labor certification? They concluded that they will have to mention bachelors degree (same as at the time of hiring) and mention my most recent salary.
Does that mean that my green card would be filed under EB3 category even though I have a masters degree since a year and paid salary at par with masters degree candidate?
If yes, are there any alternatives for me to get green card filed under EB2 and help speed up everything?
Any help is appreciated
