You're not applying for a job, you're applying for an immigrant visa, the immigration officer who will handle your case is not a pilot/airline/aviation expert, they handle cases from people of all walks of life, they see cases from teachers, doctors, lawyers, scientists, etc. They don't know whether 200 or 20,000 hours is good enough.
They ask for specific requirements, one being at least 10 years of experience in your field, and a lot depends on how you frame your case. If you meet the 10 year requirement, chances are you have way over 2,000 hours.
If you apply for this visa, don't think as a pilot looking for a job, think as what you are, an immigrant looking for a work visa.
