My Company's Staff Needs A
Green Card
People in these jobs
usually get "green cards" (GC) through the faster RIR
processing. We have helped many people obtain GC's this way.
What is the
procedure?
There are four steps
to get your GC using the RIR processing.
First, you will have
to advertise the job for a period of about three months. You will have
to advertise in the right newspaper or other print publication, usually
for two Sundays, once each month. We can help you pick the appropriate
newspaper. Between these two advertising you will have to list your job
in the Department of Labor's Internet job bank, called America's Job
Bank (AJB). During this time you will also have to post a notice about
the job. We will provide a copy of the notice.
Second, if no
suitable candidate answers the ad for your position, you can then file
the case with the Department of Labor. If the Department of Labor agrees
that there are no American workers interested in the job you are
offering they will give you a labor certification.
Third, after getting
the labor certification, you will have to file papers with the INS. If
the INS agrees your employee should have a GC they will issue an
approval notice for him/her to schedule a GC interview.
Fourth, once you get
the approval notice your employee can schedule a GC interview. He/she
can do it either in the U.S. in the city were you live or in your home
country. Generally speaking, it is much faster to have the GC interview
in your employee's home country. We can help you make a selection.
How long before my
employee get their GC?
It will generally
take 2 to 4 years from the time you start the case before your employee
gets his/her GC. For those of you who want more detail on the steps and
timing of the entire process of an average case, you can click her to

How much does this
cost?
There are four parts
to the cost: The Legal Fee, the Filing Fee, Other Expenses and Unusual
Expenses (if any)
2/3 of the legal fee
plus filing fee is due before we start working on your case. The next
1/6 is due when you receive your labor certification and the final 1/6
before your GC interview.
