Help! Anyone know approximately? (processing times)

[Jaime]

Hey guys, can anyone help? I’ve been disconnected from the site for a while due to personal reasons. Does anyone know approximately the following?

1- Approximate PERM processing times (from filing time) for EB2
2- Approximate I-485 and I-140 processing times from filing date for EB2
3- Approximate length of the entire process (from filing PERM to getting I-485 approved) for EB2
4- Are I-140 and I-485 still being filed concurrently?

I know there are trackers, but I find them all confusing!

Sorry for the many questions. This would help me a lot! Thanks in advice for any input guys!

(or send me a private message if easier, thanks!)

Didn't you already get your GC few months back? Anyways, I will try to answer your questions with the understanding that you want to genuinely find out answers to these questions.

1- Approximate PERM processing times (from filing time) for EB2
The time it takes to file your paper work depends on the lawyer and company.

The time it takes for approval varies too between Atlanta and Chicago. Last I heard, it was around 6 months.

2- Approximate I-485 and I-140 processing times from filing date for EB2
For I-140 see this link - https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/ptimes.jsp
For I-485 see current visa bulletin - http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_1360.html

3- Approximate length of the entire process (from filing PERM to getting I-485 approved) for EB2

There is no set time from stat to finish. It depends on many variables, employer, lawyer, country of origin, nut jobs at CIS etc.

If you are lucky, and not from China, India, Mexico & Philippines, in EB2 it could take around 3- 4 years.

If you are unlucky, or if you are from China, India, Mexico & Philippines, in EB2 it could take anywhere between 5-10 years.

So the answer is, it depends.

4- Are I-140 and I-485 still being filed concurrently?

Yes, if your priority dates for filing I-485 are current as per the current visa bulletin, which is very unlikely. Although, I-140 premium process has not yet re-started.

Hope this helps!

Thanks! And no, I have not gotten my green card, not even close!!

However, let's assume that PERM does take 6 to 12 months (from filing date) and then, the I-140/I-485 stage take another year...that would be 2 years, right? Why do you say 5 to 10?

Because data you are referring is incorrect and fake. Data you are referring is produced by a business to make people come to that site.

And, if you seem know the answer, then why are you asking? Sorry that I wasted my time replying to your initial post.
