- Process starts one year after start of Consultant tenure (3 years after start of A tenure)
- No, only in specific cases (married to US citizen, O-1 visa because of having PhD, etc)

Exactly, do the math. EB-2 stands for Employment Based, you can’t do it on your own

What if I’ve already started the process at my current firm and close to filing I-485 will bcg make an exception to their one year rule?

I think it’s just the risk of whether the company will do the I-485 without strings. Tech companies should though which is why I’m thinking about that direction rather than wait 180 days
