H1B valid until early 2014. Have 5 yrs managerial experience leading a team in India. Quit job and completed MS Marketing in the US, changed career from Marketing to IT and work as Analyst . Wonder 1. Can I pursue marketing related career options !! in a managerial role due to my education and work background with US based firms in marketing specialty pharmaceutical products 2. Can my case be moved under EB1 with current or future employer ? Looking for an advise. Thanks in advance for your time.

Additional information

Like to express my appreciation and sincere thanks to all those who responded and advised me. Looks like there is a need for additional information on my last position held. I worked as a Business Unit Manager leading a national team and responsible for strategy, operations, performance including profit and loss of the unit for 6 yrs. However, currently in the USA work as contractor and an individual contributor. Therefore the question can my case be filed under EB1 ? I am considering moving from my employer to a full time position. Thanks again for your time.

EB-1 category is for aliens of extraordinary ability, outstanding professors and researchers, and certain multinational managers and executives. Each requires separate qualifying criteria. I would recommend working with an experienced immigration attorney to carefully evaluate your situation.

    You really need to retain an experienced immigration lawyer to review all the facts, advise you, and handle the case. You can find one through http://www.ailalawyer.com.
