If my PERM was filed at the beginning of February 2025, when can I realistically expect to get an approval if no audit? Also, what would be a realistic timeline for getting the actual green card? EB2 from Nigeria.

Average time for PERM approvals is 16-18 months. However, considering government shutdown these timelines will go farther. I would imagine somewhere, 20-24 months, assuming Government shutdown will be closed in next 1 month.

Thanks!

Since you are from Nigeria by the time your PERM will be approved expect the priority date to be current. The date for filing i-485 is already july 2024 according to the latest visa bulletin board. I would say your I-140 and I-485 mostly will be filed concurrently.

I think it’s only current for filing for priority dates on or before July 2024. So you’re might not be if your priority date is Feb 2025

How do you deal with a manager who expects 3 months of work overnight? I have tried structuring , creating a plan to show him how the activities are being executed.
