I got my greencard this winter. It took me less than two weeks to be approved and a couple of months to get it through all the bureaucracy. My wife and oldest son also got one. It helped that I was on an O1 before.
I feel truly blessed and I have always felt home in the US. Now next step is dual citizenship (Denmark and the US have an agreement)
- ismdubey 10y agoThom, I am also an O1 filing an EB1-A. Did u file premium to be approved in less than two weeks?
- laurencerowe 10y agoI'm also switching from 0-1 to EB1-A. Premium processing only applies to the I-140 part (qualification for the category.) The I-485 adjustment of status still takes at least three months to be processed before you get the actual green card. The big advantage of the EB1 here is that I don't have to wait 9 months for the labor certification. Hopefully I'll get my advance parole a little sooner so I can travel again as having applied for the AOS I'm unable to re-enter the country on my O-1.
- ThomPete 10y agoYes.
- yashinm92 10y agoMay I ask what you do for a living? From what I understand O1 is a very difficult visa category to get into.
