Hi,

I am certified tissue bank specialist ,I have an equivalent of bachelor degree in medical biology and 5 years of experience in my field of speciality. I got an offer in a tissue bank in San Diego, CA. My duties will be to develop new bank activities such as tissues procurement and processing , implementing new written procedures in conformance with federal and other agencies regulations. The bank for the moment only preserves and distributes human tissues (bones, cardiac valves, skin and others) for transplantation. Moreover, it makes several months that the bank seeks employees with my competences and experiment to develop that kind of operations but does not find anybody. I don't have any personal international recognition. I wish obtaining green card but all shall be done by december 2005, is it possible? So, which visa should I apply?

Greencard via EB-2 + National Interest Waiver
Greencard via EB-2 & RIR
Greencard via EB-2 standard process
Greencard via EB-3 (if no time constrain)
H1B (Greencard application thereafter)
TN (no Greencard..)


Thank you very much for your suggestions...

Since you wrote that you want to have the green card done by december 2005 the only way is H1B and green card application thereafter because there is no way you will have a green card by end of this year. (Will you work for the UCSD tissue bank, than H1B is no problem). I don't think you will have any chance with NIW if you don't have "any personal international recognition" as you said. For NIW you more or less have also to show that you fit in also E-1B EA (publication, citation, international awards, excellent recommendation letters from high ranking scientist around the world who never worked with you, referee for journals etc.) Since you have a BS+5 years experience you are borderline between EB-2 or EB-3 for LC, but it will be interesting to see how PERM will influence this.
Get your H-1B first and than try to get the GC.

Thank you Honkman for your reply...

You think that I really need to satisfy EB-1 requirement to obtain NIW? The 3 factors: Substancial intrinsic merit, National scope and Outweight LC are not enough? And what about EB-2 / RIR? Process's too long?

No, the offer is from another non-for-profit private bank. How come do you know UCSD Tissue bank?
 
In the moment you have more or less to justify also EA conditions if you want to have success in NIW. EB-2/RIR will take very, very likely much longer than end of this year. Even with PERM I think you would be lucky to have your green card thath way till end of 2006.
I know UCSD tissue bank since I work in pharma in San Diego.
 
What kind of work do you do there? Rep? Lab? I had an offer from California Transplant Services, do you know them? I do not have that much of information about the bank but they seem very cool and it will grow a lot for the next few years...
 
You could take the TN-Status path also if you're a Canadian or a Mexican (I did). But if you qualify for an H1B, then take the H1B path instead, there is less to watch out for during the GC process.
