With minimal exceptions, all EB-2 and EB-3 green card applications need that the employer obtain a Labor Certification from the U.S. Department of Labor. For petitions requiring this action, the Labor Certification process is often the hardest and most strenuous step. Prior to having the ability to file the Labor Certification application, the company needs to obtain a fundamental wage from the Department of Labor and prove that there are no minimally qualified U.S. workers offered for the positions through the conclusion of a competitive recruitment process.

When it comes to positions which contain mentor duties, the company needs to record that the chosen applicant is the "finest qualified" for the position. This process is frequently called "Special Handling."

In both the "standard" and the "special handling" procedure, the employer must complete an official recruitment procedure to record that there are no minimally certified U.S. employees offered or that, in the case of positions that have a mentor element, that the picked prospect is the finest qualified. It prevails that this recruitment process need to be finished well after the foreign nationwide staff member started their position at the University.

As soon as the Labor Certification has actually been submitted with the Department of Labor, the "priority date" for the candidate is established. This date is necessary to determine when somebody can complete action # 3, i.e. the Adjustment of Status. (If no Labor Certification is needed, the top priority date is developed with the filing of the Immigrant Petition/ Form I-140.

2. Immigrant Petition

Once the Department of Labor approves the Labor Certification, the Immigrant Petition (Form I-140) can be submitted with USCIS. In cases where no Labor Certification is needed (e.g. EB-1), the filing of the I-140 is the initial step of the green card procedure.

3. Adjustment of Status or Obtaining an Immigrant Visa

Once the I-140 application has actually been authorized by USCIS, the foreign nationwide can make an application for the change of their non-immigrant status (Form I-485) to that of a legal irreversible resident. Instead of making an application for the Adjustment of Status, a foreign national might also obtain an immigrant visa at a U.S. consulate or embassy abroad.

The I-485 Adjustment of Status application can not be submitted up until and unless the "top priority date" is current. In practice this means that, depending on one's country of birth and EB-category, employment there may be a stockpile. The backlog exists since more people obtain permits in an offered classification than there are offered green card visa numbers. The total variety of permits is more restricted by the truth that, with some exceptions, no more than 7 percent of all green cards in an offered preference classification can go to individuals born in an offered country. The backlog is updated each month by the U.S. Department of State and is published in the Visa Bulletin.

Once someone's priority date date has been reached, employment as shown in the Visa Bulletin, the I-485 can be submitted. The top priority date is the date on which the Labor Certification was filed with the Department of Labor, or, if no Labor employment Certification was required, USCIS got the I-140 petition.

Note that the Visa Bulletin includes two different tables with top priority cut-off dates. The actual cut-off dates are suggested in table A "Application Final Action Dates for Employment-based Preference Cases." However, in some instances, USCIS might accept the I-485 application if the top priority date is present based upon table B "Dates for Filing of Employment-based Visa Applications." Note that USCIS will make a determination whether Table B may be used numerous days after the main Visa Bulletin is published. USCIS releases this information on its site dedicated to the Visa Bulletin.

In many cases, it may be possible to file the I-140 and I-485 at the exact same time. This is not always suggested, even if it is possible. If the I-140 is denied, the I-485 will likewise be denied if filed simultaneously.
