    Premium Processing For I-140s Expanded

    The USCIS now accepts Premium Processing requests for I-140 filings for EB-1 outstanding professors and researchers, and extraordinary ability, EB-2 members of professions with advanced degrees or exceptional ability not seeking a National Interest Waiver, and EB- 3 workers. This is an advantage for those seeking consular processing of their green card application or those who need extensions of H-1B beyond the 6th year.

    Home for the Holidays - Why You Should Start Your Green Card Process Now

    There are three reasons to start your permanent residence “green card” process now to guarantee your future in the United States:

    1. Limited Availability: There’s a limited number of employment based immigrant visas (green cards) issued each year because of the heavy demand. Some people wait for years! Processing time depends on the date you applied. So the longer you wait, the longer it will take to get your green card. For physicians who are Indian and Chinese nationals, there is a 2 to 3 year wait and it is always possible that a waiting list can develop for other physicians as well. Acting now will start the process sooner and could cut years of waiting for your green card.

    2. Slower Job Market: One way to get a green card is through PERM labor certification. But the employer must prove that qualified U.S. citizens or permanent residents are not available for your job. So if a qualified U.S. citizen applies for your job, you miss out on your green card! But the holiday season is very slow for recruitment so starting now will increase your chances of securing your green card.

    3. Save Money in Attorney Fees and Government Fees: To keep pace with the economy, we are increasing our fees for the coming year. Start your process before December 15 and lock in our current fees. You should also know that the government may raise its fees in the coming year as well.

    To get started – just call 888-849-9104 x 207 or email [email protected] by December 15, 2006 to reserve our current rates.
