PhD students and eligibility for EB-2 NIW and working on F-1 OPT
1) Is it possible for current PhD students to apply for EB-2 NIW?
I have been through websites where they have said It's Possible, but then why is it not possible for current MS students?
2) Is it possible to work and study in F-1 OPT after completing the degree?
Sure, you can apply for any of these green cards while you are still a student.
Please go through my article in The Economic Times:
NIW laws require only that you possess an advanced degree. A Master’s degree is an advanced degree.
