Recently, our team was asked a question: “Can I apply for EB-2 if I have a master's degree from a Ukrainian university?”
We wanna share the answer from our specialists:
22.07.2025 17:52:11 Yes, you can potentially apply for an EB-2 visa if you have a master’s degree from a Ukrainian university. The EB-2 visa category is generally available to individuals who are members of the professions holding advanced degrees or their equivalent, or who have exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or business. For the advanced degree category, you must demonstrate that your education is equivalent to a U.S. master's degree or higher. This typically involves obtaining an educational evaluation from a recognized credential evaluation service that compares your foreign degree to U.S. educational standards. If your master’s degree is deemed equivalent to a U.S. master’s degree, you may qualify under this category. In addition to meeting the educational requirements, you must also have a job offer from a U.S. employer and obtain a labor certification from the Department of Labor unless this requirement is waived through a National Interest Waiver (NIW). It's advisable to consult with an immigration attorney or specialist who can evaluate your specific situation and guide you through the application process based on current immigration policies and regulations.
22.07.2025 18:10:52 Yes, you may qualify for an EB-2 visa with a master’s degree from a Ukrainian university, but USCIS requires that the degree be equivalent to a U.S. master’s. To prove this, you’ll need an official credential evaluation from a recognized service. Additionally, the job offer must require at least a master’s (or a bachelor’s plus 5 years’ experience), and the U.S. employer must go through the PERM labor certification process, unless you're applying under a National Interest Waiver (NIW).
22.07.2025 18:15:02 You can apply for EB-2 if you hold a Ukrainian master’s degree, provided it’s deemed equivalent to a U.S. master’s through a foreign credential evaluation. USCIS accepts degrees from abroad if properly documented and evaluated. You’ll also need a job offer and labor certification (unless applying under NIW) and must meet all other EB-2 criteria. Having an attorney guide the process helps ensure the educational and employment requirements are correctly met.
