GC Initial status

Hi All,


 


I am a full employee and my I-797 (6 year) is valid till April 2017 .So My company started the GC Process and they are still waiting for the PWD approval (applied 40 days back) from department of Labor. They are expecting the approval within next 1-2 weeks. I guess the next step is give the advertisement and wait for 3 months to before applying my labor. 


 


I heard that they have to start apply labor before 365 days means before April 2016 .


 


Do they need to wait 3 months for advertisement? 


 


What if they apply in May / June 2016 ?  


 


What if the labor approved by December 2016? 


 


 


 


What would be the impact if I change the work location now? ( same employer / same role) { My priority is GC process rather than changing location, but wanted move from east coast to  central due to weather reasons.}

Not necessarily. Thats an option for 7th year extension, but as long as your 140 approves before your visa expiry, you should be fine.

Yes, there is no shortcuts there.
