My friend got an offer from SAP, the start date is mid February. He has a PhD in computer science. I was wondering if anybody will know whether SAP files Green Card in EB1 category for employees with PhD ? Your help is greatly appreciated.
Which PhD falls in EB1 category?
Job profile/role dictates if its EB1 or not...not the degree you hold
You are confusing with EB2/3
His job profile is UX researcher. He is not into software development.
If SWE then unlikely... there are many PhDs here at Amazon almost all of them went through company sponsored EB2. Some started NIW EB2 for skipping Perm on self-initiative. I don’t think SAP is hiring against EB1 worthy position, unless you give more info.
This is strange. Many if not most PhDs will qualify for EB1B . Still Amazon will not file it for them ??
He is offered the position of UX researcher. It’s not SWE position. It’s pure research position.
First question why SAP? Ask your friend to look for other companies. If your friend meets the high bar for EB1 then he shouldn't be working for a crappy company like SAP.
Not every PhD falls in eb1 category
His job position is UX researcher.
