Hello:

I am employed after getting my master's degree here in the US. I am on a H1B visa and then my employer applied for green card through PERM through EB2. THey did my labor certification which came back quickly and then they submitted my I-140 which I just got recently approved. What are the next steps for me obtaining my Permanent Residency. At what time can I switch employers if needed? Is there any way I could check the current status of where USCIS is at as of right now?

All your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Amit
 
What is your priority date and country of citizenship.

Check visa bulletin for your priority date. If your priority date is current you can apply I 485 (Adjustment of status - GC) , work permit and travel documents.

Once you apply I 485, 765 and 131 and receive the receipts, you can track your application online @ www.uscis.gov

Thanks for your prompt reply GreatGuru. My priority date is June 2006. I am a citizen of India.

You said to check visa bulletin. Can you please help me where exactly you are talking about? I am really new to this and have no clue.

I really appreciate your help.
 
For India EB2 , the priority date is 08 Jan 2003 as of May 2007.

Per current situation you may have to wait another 3 to 5 years before you apply your green card. Join the real world.

Just getting the approval of I 140 will help you to extend your H1 in 3 years duration beyond your initial 6 years term only.
