Folks, My employer just started my GC filing process via EB2. The company attorney submitted PWD today and says it takes around 3-4 months to approve. And, next 6-8 months for PERM. I would be qualified to EB2-NIW and was talking to another attorney on my own. But considering time, effort and finance, I agreed with my employer for EB2 process. I now am concerned with the fact of its longer processing time. The attorney says it will take somewhere around 1.5-2 yrs. Can you guys share your recent EB2 experiences? How long did it take to approve your case? I'd appreciate your input. Thank you, GK

3-4 months for PWD. 2-3 months for advertisements if things go smoothly and then file I-140 so about 10-12 months at least. NIW get approved usually in less than 6 months most of the time.

Here is my time line, hope this helps: Wage submitted: July 2016 Wage approved: Oct 2016 Advertisement: Nov 2016- Jan 2017 PERM Filed: Feb 2017
PERM Approved: MaY 2017 140/485 Filed: June 2017 (premium) 140 Approved: July 2017 EAD/AP Approved: Nov 2017 1st File transfer: Jan 2018 2nd File transfer: March 2018 Interview June 2018; Approved Same day. Got the card within a week. So from start (wage) to finish (card in hand) almost two years, but mine was not NIW.

Thanks for your inputs folks. Abhilasha, did you file NIW or regular EB2 via PERM? Can you please elaborate a bit?

@guitarc I am not expert on NIW but it means National Interest Waiver. NIW does not require PERM filing but to qualify, one should have Advance Degree like Ph.D @KhaiK these days all Employment based applicant have to appear for visa Interview and for that your file goes through various USCIS office (Nebraska/Texas - NBC Missouri - and your local USCIS office). First transfer = file transferred to NBC from NE or TX (initial filing); second transfer = file transferred from NBC to your local USCIS office for interview.

Seems like I made a mistake by not going via EB2-NIW. It would have save a great deal of time.
