for any Canadian that has gone from H1B to green card, how long was the process? TC 120
Canadian here. And I’m still in the process. My green card journey started in April 2018. Got my perm certificate in Feb 2019. My I-140 in April 2019. And I’m in the very last step, the I-485, since June 2019. My lawyer expect the immigration interview to be somewhere in March 2020. Two years is a good estimate.
Your PERM could have been MUCH faster
I know. I lost 6 weeks because the department of labor was closed during the shutdown. April - July 2018: Prevailing wages August - September 2018: Recruiting + Cooldown October 2018: Paperwork November 2018 - Feb 2019: Certification + Shutdown
I'm not Canadian but I believe it's going to be the same as for anybody who is not Indian or Chinese. In my case it took 2 years.
Two years from starting perm to getting it in hand ? Was it at Facebook? Also who was the attorney. TIA
