Case Studies of Difficult EB2 Education RFEs Answered
Every year, we see more and more education RFEs for EB2 visas. This is because the difference between whether a candidate qualifies for an EB2 or an EB3 visa is based on their level of education, and EB3 candidates can find themselves in limbo, waiting
up to a decade for their petition to be reviewed. An EB2 visa requires a candidate to hold an advanced degree beyond a US bachelor's degree or its foreign equivalent. USCIS is aware that many of the people who file for EB2 status are doing so to see if
they can save time, not because they actually meet the requirements for this visa. In response, the education of EB2 candidates is carefully scrutinized.
