GC from Maryland

PERM is the future of Labor Certifications..., apply now in RIR, retain it or convert in PERM, once PERM implemented.Originally posted by hx599
I have around 4 yrs left on my H1. Considering that labor from MD itself is taking more than 3 yrs should I apply for GC now or should I wait for PERM. Anyone out there has any idea whether one can get GC (on EB2) from MD in 4/5 yrs.
Research further details in

Question : Hi, Sheela. I have 1 1/2 years left on H1B. Is it better to apply for labor through Maryland now or after PERM is introduced in October?
Answer : With a situation that is so close, it is not worth taking any risks and waiting, since PERM may not get passed, or even if it does, it may not help you in your particular case since there are many restrictions in how PERM was originally envisioned. Safest course is to start regular LC right away to ensure being able to file H1B extensions each year. Filing an LC can take 2 or 3 months even without running RIR advertisements, depending on various factors with your employer.
