May be Saan Dai is right. I am not sure. I said as of my friends process. They told me the same, that we have to show them at least 2 yrs of US experience to be eligible for this. I am also waiting for this. I have been working here more than one and half years with MS in computer science. But you can see this link: http://murthy.com/eb2.html The point of interest is: The LC (Labor Certification) must indicate that the position offered is one that requires the advanced degree to perform the job. If the profession as a rule requires a doctoral degree, the job offer and the credentials of the applicant must indicate / reflect it. Hope other people have more thought about this. Or Saan Dai, if you have more links or info, please give us. Thank you
