EB3 to EB2 - Same Employer and have some questions.

[vasudev316]

Hi,

I will provide my scenario first:

My Education:

B.Sc., Geology - 3 years - India
M.Sc., Applied Geology - 2 years - India
M.Tech., Remote Sensing – 1 and 1/2 years – India

P.S: These degrees are not related to IT field and it has continuous education.

My Experience:

Aug 2002 to Jan 2008 – Different employers in India
Feb 2008 to June 2010 – Different employer in USA
July 2010 to present – Current employer

Approved I-140 from EB3 category with my Current employer.
My priority date is July 27, 2011.

Questions:
1. Can you please tell me when my priority date will become current? I don’t have much knowledge to see in visa bulletin.
2. Do I need to wait till it become current or Can I start some progress in anything?
3. Am I eligible to do EB2 category?
4. Can I start doing new Labor, PERM in EB2 category?
5. In that case, do I need to show different Job description in EB2 OR same as EB3?
6. For example, In case EB2 get any query, is that safe to continue with EB3 category? Is there any conflict will come?
7. Can I do both my EB3 and EB2 category with same employer (current)?

To be clear I was not working in IT related field till before Jan 2008 and right now working in IT related project since Feb 2008.

I am in position to take risk by money wise to start my EB2 category. Can you please give me the very correct answer for this? It will be really appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.

MAY TAKE NUMBER OF YEARS

2. Do I need to wait till it become current or Can I start some progress in anything?

YOU CAN BEGIN EB2 UPGRADE

3. Am I eligible to do EB2 category?

THE PROBLEM IS 3 YEAR DEGREE WITH 2 YEARS MASTERS, THIS IS EQUIVALENT TO BS DEGREE. HOWEVER YOU CAN TRY BS DEGREE WITH 5 YEARS OF EXPEREINCE. ADDING YOUR MTECH MAY BE TRICKY. YOU NEED AN EVALUATION FIRST

4. Can I start doing new Labor, PERM in EB2 category?

YES
5. In that case, do I need to show different Job description in EB2 OR same as EB3?

DEPENDS ON YOUR EXPERIENCE IT COULD BE SAME

6. For example, In case EB2 get any query, is that safe to continue with EB3 category? Is there any conflict will come?

NO CONFLICT, YOUR EB3 WILL STAY ALIVE

7. Can I do both my EB3 and EB2 category with same employer (current)?

WHY NOT..

NOT A LEGAL ADVICE, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
