Background
Ms Ho, from Hong Kong, applied with her husband. She wanted to move to the US through employer sponsorship.
Main concern
She worried her employer’s unfamiliarity with the process would cause delays.
Our approach
We helped the employer prepare the job description, prevailing wage determination and recruitment, making sure each step met the rules.
Process and outcome
There were no delays, and she received a green card in about 30 months, following the backlog.
Adviser’s comment
In employer sponsorship, the employer’s cooperation matters as much as the applicant’s preparation.
EB-2 application process
- Assessment and employer match (Varies): We assess your qualifications and confirm the employer and role.
- Labour certification (PERM) (Per Department of Labor timelines): Prevailing wage determination, recruitment and filing of the labour certification.
- File I-140 (Premium processing about 15 working days): Once the labour certification is approved, the employer files the I-140; premium processing is available.
- Green card stage (Depends on visa backlog): File I-485 or attend a consular interview when your priority date is current.
