How Much More to Wait Until I Get My Green
Card
If you applied for a “green card” through your
company you have to complete a three-step process before you get
your “card”.
The first step is to get an approved labor
certification from the Department of Labor (DOL).
This has two sub-steps
- First, you file your case with the State DOL.
If everything goes well the State DOL will transfer your case
to the US DOL in your region (Regional DOL).
Please
click below to see how long you have to wait for a response from the State
DOL’s in all 50 states.
- The
second sub-step is the Regional DOL reviewing your case and giving you
an approved labor certification if
everything is done correctly.
Please
click below to see how long you have to wait for a response from of all of
the Regional DOL’s once the case is transferred there from the State
DOL.
The second step after getting an approved
labor certification is to file an Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker
(I-140) with your regional INS office.
To find out the processing time for I-140’s please click here.
The third step is to apply for a GC interview
once INS approves your I-140. You
may be able to have a GC interview in the U.S.
To do so you need to file form I-485 with your regional INS office. To find out the processing time for I-485’s
please click here.
You also maybe able to have your GC interview at the
U.S. Embassy in your home country. Please
click here to fine out how to contact the Embassy in your country to try
to get an idea of how long you will have to wait for the interview and the
procedure at the Embassy.
Whether it is better to have the GC interview in the
U.S. or in your home country is a complicated question that you should
discus with an experienced immigration attorney.
The wrong choice could result in your GC being denied.

Testimonials
"I
have found working with the James Nolan Law Office to be a very
positive experience. Jim is very knowledgeable on
immigration rules and the requirements for filing visa
petitions. Our Midwest location was never a problem. I
don't believe our petitions could have been filed any more quickly
if we had used a local firm. Jim's staff knows what
information to request from you to complete the required
paperwork, and they don't waste any time completing and submitting
it to INS. We are very satisfied with the work done for us
by the James Nolan Law Office ." JoAnn
