Is PharmD Master's or more per INA 214g5c? I am certain that it is not. But client insists that his PharmD is exempt. I really don't care as long as I am getting paid. But I really do not see the basis. This PharmD is 6yr program in US. After 5yrs he got BS, after another yr doing work program, that Uni gave him PharmD. INA defines "Master's equivalent" as a BS plus 5 yrs of progressively more advanced experience of 5 yrs, and nowhere in INA defines a professional degree such as PharmD.

Look at the old FAM. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/memos/ac21_050206.pdf

Says a Masters degree for purposes of the Masters cap is one that requires at least a Bach to get. So if the PharmD program required a Bach for entry then it can work for the Masters cap. If not, then just regular cap.

Good one. Thanks.

And I do not believe the EB2 Exceptional abilities' definition of "advanced degrees" should apply on this Master's cap- any experience here?

Thanks.
This PharmD is a 6-yr program,.accepts high school graduates. After 5 yrs of coursework,.progr grants a bachelor's degree, the last, sixth yr, student does externship, and at thr end of the 6ixthnyr, PharmD professional degree is granted, and student will take the state's pharmacist license.exam. so that's tricky.
