Timeline Came to us from ROW country for masters so doing eb3. Started at msft may 2020 after graduation. Msft is a Day 1 gc company, so i was able to get the process started soon as i began (i think the lawyers reused the pwd or did both pwd and perm at the same time) and got into that batch of perm advertisment also so the steps weren't stacked compared to joining at a later date that didn't align with the advertisment. after 4-5 months my perm was approved. filed i140 pp and i-485 ~ nov 2020. after 6 months got the gc (i even got the gc before my work permit for the i-485 which was weird lol). So all in all took about a year. Next steps: citizenship in about 5 years Good luck my brothers, god is good :)
Congratulations!!! 🎊 That’s really fast if you applied only in Nov 2020. Can you share details like which service center and field office? And fingerprinting biometrics date? I assume you submitted Medicals along with I-485?
I work in virginia msft office so it wasn't as backed up at the major intl hubs like sf and seattle i guess. Yep at the same time.
Damn you’re so lucky! I filed I485 in Oct 2020 and haven’t even been called for biometrics
Way to make our Indian brothers and sisters jealous.
look at the bright side man, all tech staff in bay area will be 90 % asian/south asian. The wait might be long but every other co-worker would be from the same country.
Which country are you from?
ROW
Jealous but congrats! I am not getting the gc for next few decades even though my priority date is in 2019.
A free unwanted advise: don't be sexist. Brothers and sisters all want gc. Keep an open mind and make life better for yourself and everyone :)
Please don’t be rude and tell OP what to say. I feel deeply offended by your comment
Please don't be rude and tell me what to say.
Sorry ROW is? Republic of Wakanda?
I am salty about people who ask what row is. just search row green card. It would take you less time to search than to write this.
Sorry buddy, didnt know it was such a sensitive issue with you.
Congrats, you were lucky to get it so fast. Mine took almost 3 years! (ROW as well). Enjoy the peace of mind
