hi,
I work as a Programmer Analyst for my current employer. There is a position in my department that I want to move to for PERM because it is a higher level position and not many applicants will qualify for it. It requires 3 years of experience. Now I had 2 years of experience before I started working for my current employer and one year of experience since. According to my understanding only 2 out of 3 years of my experience will count towards PERM. However, before I started working with my current employer I was a full time student on F-1 visa and worked as a Research Assistant for a year. Can my Research Assistance experience be counted towards PERM? If it can be then it will give me 3 years of experience which is the requirment for the job I want to move to. According to my supervisor my RA experience will qualify me for the job but he is not sure whether it will help me with PERM. My current employer is a Unviersity and I was a full time student when I was working as an RA at the same university.
I will appreciate any insights anyone can provide.
Thanks!.
