Upon approval of the Immigrant Petition, if a visa number is available for the employee, the employee will file an Application for Adjustment of Status with the USCIS.

Visa availability is based on the country of birth of the employee, the labor certification filing classification, and the employee's "priority date." As noted, the priority date is set at the time of the filing of the Application for Labor Certification.

Upon approval of the Application for Adjustment of Status and completion of some final steps, the employee will be a U.S. permanent resident alien and will receive his or her Green Card in the mail shortly thereafter.

*Anticipated period of time to complete this step: 10 months to 1 and a half years once the I-485 is able to be filed
Be advised that if visa numbers are available, the I-485 may be filed concurrently with the I-140.
