Just wondering if someone can help me out.

I am on a TN Visa expiring 2012 DEC. I was told by a friend that since i also hold a Pakistani citizenship that i should convert my TN to EB2 and if everthing goes smooth i can get a GC in 8 months.

He told that for countries like India and China it takes a long time but for Pakistan and Taiwan it takes around 8 months?

Does not make sense to me but wondering if Nelson or someone else can confirm or deny this?

Thanks
 
Indeed India-born and China-born are severley backlogged at EB2 category, while natives of all other countries (including Canada, pakistan, taiwan, greenland, and all 300+ other countries) are not.

But note that this is country of BIRTH, so there is no possibility to change this. Citizenship does not matter.

Just wondering how one can get GC in 8 months on EB2, on TN and being from the ROW. Last time I checked, the labor itself is taking 10 months.
 
Time fluctuates. It is never fixed. In any event, you don't stay on TN after you apply for GC, you move to EAD/AP first.

Curious can i hire a lawyer on my own who can take care of this? I am wondering how much the cost will be (ball park)
 
Let me restate my question can i hire a lawyer to initiate this process? My company don't care but don't want to spend the money.

Can someone please let me know
thanks
 
Your employer must sponsor and pay for most fees. It is a tedious process so if your employer is not interested, find a new employer that is. Remember that the job must go through labor certification. If any USC or LPR is qualified for and wanting your job, the process cannot go forward.
 
As concerned says, its the employer you need to convince and have him support the porcess. Very little of the expenses however, MUST be paid by the sponsor (only PERM expenses) and all else can be paid by you.

When the employer pays costs, they are a little more invested in success.

If they feel you are not worth it, find someone else who is, like C4us sez.
 
Its actually a canadian consulting company and i doubt they will be interested in doing it on their own as they will have a get a lawyer involved. On the other hand if i tell them i'll bear the cost they'll tell me to do it but i don't know how far they will go through this.


I am sure their will be some paper work from the company who knows company's balance sheet i don't know if they will go through all this. I'll figure it out though
 
The Cdn company would not have any standing to sponsor you as a Perm Resident. It has to be a US entity.
