Question:

I am working as a software engineer in USA with H1B visa Status since last 4 years.

I did my M.Sc Physics and M.Tech Atmospheric Science from India. I am doing part time PhD in India and plan to complete it in an year or so.

What are the possibilities to apply green card with my PhD…in EB1 Category?

Do I need join as PDF any university/research organization?

Response:

Besides a PhD degree, there are number of strengths that can count towards evidence in EB1A. Please take a look USCIS EB1A requirements (also listed below) for more details. You can plan ahead for a later EB1A application now, keeping in view these requirements. With a PhD, some good publications and active engagement in research activities, it is generally possible to meet these criteria.
Best of luck.
