H1B timeline to get the green card

[Mag81 0]

hi

 

i am on an H1B since august 2021, my employer is applying for a green card and i am not sure if i am going to get it or is it too late, guidance is appreciated.

 

the latest status that i got from the company's lawyer is that on JUN 2024, the Prevailing Wage Request was filed with the Department of Labor.

 

when i asked him where are we on the process, he said that we are waiting for a response from the DOL, and it seems that this is taking longer than expected, he added that we will extend the visa for one year to capture more time.

 

does anyone know if this is already a lost battle and there is no way i can get it before the visa expires ?

 

thanks

That’s odd, if it was submitted in June 2024, it should have been processed by now - https://flag.dol.gov/processingtimes Your lawyer should be chasing this up. 

 

As for timescale, depends on which visa category. Are you EB1/2/3? Also, what is your country of birth?
