Thumbs up I am on H1B, is it possible to get a Master's (probably MBA) and get in the EB-2 line
Hi,

I just graduated with a Bachelor Degree, and I am currently on H1B. I am so concerned about the 5 year backlog on EB-3, which will take more 10+ years to become a citizen....

I am thinking about getting an online MBA degree from an accredited school ASAP, and ask my employer to promote me to a position that require an MBA, ex. manager. (I think it's not a problem in a small company) Will I be able to get into the EB-2 line?

Have anyone done that before? May you share your experience whether it's successful or not?

As long as your job (for which you are applying for the GC) requires it and you are qualified, you can apply in EB2 category. BTW, the 5 year wait is for ROW and not for over-subscribed countries such as India, China, mexico etc. Hopefully, you are from a ROW category country.

Good luck!
