Phd degree and Green Card

Published Jun 30,2010 By GCforPhD
Question:

I am on H1 B with I 140 approved.
My H1 B extensions are based on 1 140 approval.
My wife is on H4 and she is a Phd graduate with Microbiology. My priority date is 2006 (EB3). I haven’t applied for 485.
Can my wife apply for GC with her PHD degree?
I appreciate your help.
Answer:
Please see the FAQ at http://www.greencardpostdoc.info/ and the free ebook at http://www.greencardforphd.com/downloads/GreencardforPhd_ebook.pdf for detailed explanation for your question.

In short the answer is yes. That said Phd is neither a requirement nor guarantee to get a greencard in niw or eb1a categories. But most of the time, the work performed during a phd help as evidence in one of these categories. So one can self-petition without a sponsor. Best is to review uscis criteria and some example petitions at
