Intuits HR policy prevent any H1B Visa holder to apply for a GC in the EB2 category", even if you have a US masters degree and more than 5 Years of Experience. None of the Engg / QA / Sys admin positions will qualify for EB2 category.
The only exception is a "staff software engineer" position.
I dismissed it thinking that it is mendacious propaganda by dissatisfied employees. However, recently I got a call for an interview, I cleared the first round and was invited for an onsite interview. I wanted to clarify if this new immigration policy has any verity at all ? I emailed the HR contact ( don't want to name-call in a public forum ), and stated that I have heard about this change in policy and if that is correct would like to withdraw from the interview process, hence being respectful of the time of 5 Interviewers. Its been 2 months and I am yet to receive a clarification on that. This incident gave credence to the ludicrous policy adopted by the company, indeed it is true. Then news started dropping in from everywhere about new recruits being hoodwinked into believing that their GC will be processed in the EB2 category. The company recruiters have even gone to the extent of blatant lying, by purposefully refraining from discussing about this policy when talking to the recruits about their GC processing. No information is shared until explicitly asked. Recently, a recruiter extended an offer letter to a prospective hire with the assurance that GC will be filed in EB2 for a engg position. This person enquired about the company from employees and finally after learning about this policy, rejected the offer in time.
