3. To qualify for an EB2 Green Card, the applicant
must have an advanced degree or exceptional
ability in their profession. Applicants must have
a permanent job offer from a US employer who
will act as the applicant's sponsor.
An advanced degree is considered at least a
Master's degree or, in some professions, a
Bachelor's degree plus a minimum of five (5)
years' work experience.
EB2 Green Card Requirements
Timeline : Takes approximately, 4 to 5 years

4. To qualify for an EB3 Green
Card, the applicant must have
a Bachelors Degree (4 years)
(or, if the majors are the
same, a three year followed
by a two year masters).
Applicants must have a
permanent job offer from a
US employer who will act as
the applicant's sponsor.
EB3 Green Card Requirements
Timeline : Takes approximately 15 years.

5. We make a
“prevailing
wage request”
to the U.S.
Department of
Labor (DOL)
The PWD is an
important aspect of
the PERM process,
because
immigration law
requires that
employers pay
foreign workers at
least the prevailing
wage for the
worker’s position.
Stage 1 : Labor Certification Step
One: PWD Request
Timeline : The PWR/PWD process takes less than 60 days.

6. We place an
advertisement with
the state workforce
agency in the state
of intended
employment.
Labor Certification Step Two: Placing
Ads and Recruiting
The PERM recruiting process takes a minimum of 60 days overall, though
most of the work is done in the first two weeks.

7. Program Electronic Review
Management (PERM) Processing
Timeline - The PERM processing as presently taking around eight months, but this time
varies widely.
PERM is the system used for obtaining labor certification and is
the first step for certain foreign nationals in obtaining an
employment-based immigrant visa . The employment-based
preference categories that require PERM labor certification are
EB-2 and EB-3.
After the labor certification is approved by the DOL, an
Immigrant Petition related to the labor certification should be
filed with the USCIS before the expiration of the labor
certification. The certification has a validity period of 180-days
and expires if not submitted to USCIS within this period.

11. After the
advertisements are
complete, we will
file the PERM
application with the
DOL using ETA Form
9089, this process is
the same as the
PWD request.
Labor Certification Step Three: Filing
ETA Form 9089

12. The I-140 form is divided
into nine parts, our
lawyers will carefully work
with you in order to get
the forms filled out. We
will then send it out to the
USCIS. Once the i-140 is
approved, you are no
longer subject to the six
year limit on H1B stay.
Stage 2 : Completing the I-140 Form
Timeline - “Normal” I-140 processing takes four to six months. Premium
processing takes three to four weeks.

13. When the applicant’s priority
date becomes current, he or
she (and their spouse and
children) may apply for
adjustment of status,
unrestricting employment
authorization, and travel
authorization. Until then,
even with an approved I-140,
it is not possible to get an
EAD.
Stage 3 : Adjustment of Status
Priority Date Timeline : This is something that you will be given at the time.

14. Upon Completing the
adjustment of Status you
would receive your green card
between 3 and 6 months.
This is a long and stressful
process, join the company
that will help you through the
entire process, its important
to have a supportive
employer
