Home | Immigration Law | Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker
This petition is required for every employment based green card application (EB1, EB2,
and EB3). Generally, the Petition For An Alien Worker is filed after the Labor Certification is completed.
I highly recommend Garcia & Phan for immigration needs. They return calls as promised and provide case updates. They didn’t leave anything to chance, and they took care of our needs.
What Happens After The I-140 Petition Is Filed?
Yes, for an extra fee, the I-140 can be expedited for most visa categories. USCIS changes availability of this expedite service from time to time so it is best to check before filing. The cost to expedite or premium process the petition is $1225.00.
Yes, as long as there is a visa available for your category. Visa availability is updated every month by U.S. Department of State so that should be consulted before filing. Generally, the EB3 category has the longest wait because there are more applications in that visa category than the others.
