Green card

Hi,

I have been offered a permanent position granting a GC.

I have trouble undertanding the process. I thought I would get a EB3 visa fiirst and then a GC but it is apparently NOT the case, as I would get a GC right.

Could someone explain the process and how much it would take to actually get to the US?

How much time will it approximatively take to actually be physically there?

The i-140 is in the process of being filed.

Thanks everyone!

    Depending on what country you are coming from it could take years to get a GC.

    EB 3 is immigrant card category which is otherwise known as greencard.

    Look up US visa bulletin and you can keep track on what current dates are. France would come under the category rest of the world

    Hi,

    I've looked but I don't think it says much because I don''t know the processing time for the vermont service center. And I can't find their processing time online.

    doesn't matter which center you go to until your PD date becomes current your application will not move

    ok but your PD depends on when your application is approved right? Therefore if I knew the average processing time I'd have an idea of what the PD should be, wouldn't I?

    Your PD is usually the date of filing of I140. You should get a receipt notice that will confirm that. Then as Silverdragon says have to wait until your PD is current before they start the processing. It is not a quick process.

    Hi everyone,

    So I am to receive the ETA 9089 soon to fill, sign and return to the employer.

    I was wondering if there is any documents that I would need to give them along with that (like proof of present and previous employment as a RN )? Because I'd have to work on translating them and it would take a while.

    Can anybody who has already been through that stage help me out please?

    I was also wondering at which point in time/of the process should I provide them with documents such as birth certificates and police clearances ect?

    Thanks

    Until your pd is current it is not required to provide any info like that. The lawyer will let you know when they need the info
