What does equivalent "work experience" mean?

Print

As a general rule of thumb, you need three years of relevant work experience for each year of undergraduate studies that you are missing. So if you have a two-year degree, you usually need six years of work experience. Without any degree, you need twelve years.

You can also substitute work experience for a postgraduate degree to qualify for an EB-1 or EB-2 Green Card. In that case, the rate is five years of experience for each missing year of experience
