[arssa2020]

Hi,
PERM is supposed to reduce the Labor dept mess right
if i get my PERM 6 month from now (after advertising and all the stuff)
how long will it take to process my application in the UCIS and to get the green card (in california)
i need some rough generic numbers please...
thanks

Approximate estimate: If you start say Apr 1 Perm, you can file electronically your labor cert by Sep 2005. Per PERM 45-60 days to get approval. December , if you file I 140 / 485/ EAD/ Advance Parole etc, the chances very very good, to get green card before end of Year 2006. CA service center is very good nowadays. Go and compare processing dates of I 485 in CA and other centers, it will give very good idea.

thanks Guide-pro for this great info

another question, can i switch jobs after i file for the I485 and the advacne parole and before getting the Green card
(i.e. if i file by december, can i change jobs before i get the Green card and still maintain my Green card case , or i have to start from level zero again? )
