If I have only a Bachelors degree, can I qualify for an Employment Based Second Preference (“EB-2”) visa petition by combining my degree with my years of experience in the field?
NO. Degree equivalency is not applicable in immigrant petitions as it is in H-1B cases. However, you may still be able to obtain an EB-2 preference. If your employer’s actual minimum requirements would be a Bachelor’s degree plus five years of experience in lieu of a Master’s degree, an EB-2 petition could be successful.
