My company is starting PERM this week and Im planning to change jobs in 2 months! How long does the PERM approval takes?
Up to 1.5 years
Mine took about 10 months!
They have 6 mo the for advertising job only, then process for labor certification, and then i-140 processing. Provided there is no RFE.
What about the timeline from.when they file the PERM ? My basic stuff is done like the adverstisement etc., They said they will file the perm 9089 or sth like that soon
dude, the preparatory work before even filling the perm application takes around 6 months. there’s a pwd which takes a few months, you have to work with your manager and lawyer has to go through ad and recruitment process which takes few months even when everything works out. once you file the application, it could take anywhere from 4-5 months to over a year if you end up getting audited.
u will get i140 in 12 months if you are lucky
Labor can anyway from 3 months upbound to what people say.If Audited it can go for over a year. However once that's done you can do I140 Premium processing in 15 days to lock your PD then you are free bird to retain it!
PERM has no Premium. Mine took 4 months, I know a few that took over 14 months. You'd rather wait until 180 days after I-140 Approval, if you are keen on claiming a Priority Date as early as the date PERM is filed.
