I got mine in about 3 months

helpful

Yes... in January, the priority date to file I-485 was still current for EB3 ROW. Then it retrogressed in February or March I think.

I was born in India and I got it in 4 months. They sent me an RFE saying that I didn’t include a copy of passport (even though that wasn’t the case). Without this RFE, I probably could have gotten in less than 3 months. Good luck with your EAD

EY1 - If you cannot get the original, you are better off getting a brand new birth certificate for your spouse and submit that photocopy in the application. You don’t want to be submitting one version as part of the application and show a different version during the interview. Just check with your law firm.

Even I had the same question

What service center was this timeline at? Thanks!

Hi everyone!
I currently work for Graybar Electric as a Project Specialist. Over the past few months, I’ve been training some of the new employees and it’s really inspired me to want to move into a operations training and development or a leadership position. Unfortunately, there isn’t a lot of room for growth where I’m at. I’m hoping to make new connections and see where this new endeavor takes me, if anyone would be so kind as to refer me. Here’s a picture of our family dog for some likes ❤️

Hi! I recently switched to a new employer, who promised in writing on email that they’d start my GC process right after I complete 3 months with the firm. I’m currently on the 4th month and the process has not yet begun.
Please note that I have to give a couple of exams/certifications, one of which I failed very recently. This is keeping me from asking my employer about the GC process. Am I being irrational? Any advice or help would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

My PERM PWD was filed in early February and I’m still waiting. Almost all PWDs filed in the same month in my company have received determination, and all that are still in process are in the same department/team as me. I wonder what’s going on there.
What happens if a PWD takes more than 12 months to get approved? Would we have to file a new PWD since the 9141 wage survey is only valid for 12 months? (Feels like a PWD that takes >12 months to adjudicate would break the world record though).
