GC Premium Process for EAD


Recommended Posts

Hi Murthy and Team,

I am here in US from December 2015, and my employer has started my GC process. I want to get EAD for my Wife asap. She is currently on H4. Some questions/Queries I have regarding GC process. I will really appreciate the answers to below as this will help me understand the time required to get EAD.

 

As per my conversation with my employers immigration team , below is the Processing Timeline :

 

• Initial Conversation for Job Description  : 1  to 2 Months

• Prevailing Wage Determination : About 2 months

• Recruitment and Filing : 3 to 6 months

• PERM Labor Approval : 2 to 8 months. ( as of August 2014, PERM approval time is 6 months)

 

Currently, my case is at "Prevailing Wage Determination" stage.

 

*I have moved in US on H1B in Dec 2015, Does it benefit to convert my current case to Premium? What are Pros and Cons of it?

*How much over all time does it reduce if I ask them to convert it to the premium process?

* Does process can be converted to Premium only after Labor Certified?

*After getting I-140, how much time does it take to get EAD?

 

Regards,
