I got GC through EB2 which is pretty similar to EB3. After you get PERM approved, you will apply for I-140 and I-485. You can pay premium fee to get I-140 approved with 14 days. For I-485, you may have to wait around 10-15 months (before covid it was around 7-8 months). Once I-485 is approved, your GC will be mailed to you within 1 or 2 weeks.

From PERM to GC, it’s about 3 years. It included preparation of documents with attorney and my company. PERM doesn’t require it but when you get audited, you have to submit it. But I-140 does require it.

How did you bring up the sponsorship with GT?

After almost 2 years of working there I talked to the immigration team at GT about the possibility of getting sponsored and gave them my reasons and they were very receptive. Had to get approvals from the top to move forward. Happy to talk about this more through DM.

Hi - did the GT apply straight for a perm or did you have to get H1B first?

PERM. I didn’t need an H1B

Is anyone here, who switched company from India to Germany?
Do they consider only German speaking candidates or English speaking is ok for them?
Also, anyone have experience with EU Blue card.
Can we directly apply for EU blue card from India if there is a job offer? Anyone got visa sponsorship directly from German employer?

I have seen most of companies need German speaking candidates.
