- proberts 8y agoThat's a long conversation but the EB1 and EB2 green card categories allow for self-sponsorship although the standards are pretty high and generally require a track record of accomplishment. Alternatively, company sponsorship through the PERM process (in the EB2 or EB3 category) can be pretty quick (12-18 months) depending on the individual's country of nationality.

And you need to find a job within that category and an employer willing to file a green card for you. Depending on your country of birth, the entire process from day one to the day you receive a green card can take up to 2 years. More for people from certain countries of birth e.g. India/China.
