Hi,

If I file a green card with employer A in eb3 then how long should i need to stay with that employer so that when I can ask the employer B to convert my greencard from eb3 to eb2.

GC id for future employment .. in order to keep PD (priority date ) you need to have approval of I140 .. so it depends on u r employer(A) u can leave if he agrees to continue u r GC process .. if he does not then stay till approval of I140 .. and with new employer (B) it is new application it not conversion bt u can keep u r PD ..

and one more correction you dont file for u r GC u r employer have to do it ..

and remember EB2 requirements .. job description should say bachelor + 5 yr or advanced degree( masters according to higher education act 1965 ) ..

Thanks for ur reply...How long will it take for the approval for I140

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Fan]

PERM will take about 2-6 months --I140 will take around 6month-2years ..

After that if I convert to eb2 how many years for green card

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Fan]

big question .. it depends on lot of factors so unlikely to predict .. but EB2 is faster in current laws ..

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Fan]

After getting i140 in eb3 will it take five years

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Fan]

first that number is just a prediction not a firm number ..
and that 5 yr is after u r PD .. and when u r in EB2 ..
