My friend found a hospital petitioner for GC in Guam with the agreement that he pays for the lawyer fee to process his petition. He ended up in a company he found online and had communicated with the company director and never with the lawyer. He initialy paid $1100 last September 2007 but upon his follow up with the company director this week, he was inform that his SWA labor certification is still on process and would take more than a year. He is required to pay the remaining balance of $700 as lawyers fee and filing fees upon filling of I-140.

He is currently working, visascreen on hand but very much aware that process for GC is slow currently but wants to know if this is worth pursuing and he is not being taken for a ride.:(

What does he actually know about this company? And how long did they tell him that it would take to get a visa to work there? That is not the same as the green card for the US, if that is what he is trying to get.

Thanks for your reply suzanne, as always a quick one. I still have to ask those 2 questions to him.

All he is aware of is that they would file the I-140 for him in just a few months. He didn't expect the SWA certification to be this long. He is applying for a green card to work there. Do you mean Guam has a very different process than most states?

BTW, He is from the Philippines like me. He finished his 2 years associate in Nursing in a US accredited school here in Saipan. Passed NCLEX RN and got Visasreen Certification without the need for English Test. Would this make any difference in the GC process since he is not a BSN degree holder?:uhoh3:

If he is applying for the green card, the retrogression applies to him as well, and that is what I suspect that he is doing.

Two year US degree is okay for the green card, but again, there are none that are available at this time. Guam has a separate visa that is available for working there, but the green card and your friend is looking at five years like everyone else.

The I-140 also takes months to get approval on.
