The processing time for employer-sponsored green cards<\/strong> has crossed the three-year<\/strong> wait time in 2022, revealed TOI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, paying an amount of $2,500 <\/strong>could lessen the delay by at least seven months, bringing it down to 2 years<\/strong> and 5 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Paying a $2,500 fee <\/strong>could cut this wait to “only” 2 years and 5 months. The government has added almost 16 months <\/strong>to the average green card process. Beginning around 2016, with over a year added in alone”. TOI cited David J Bier, associate director of immigration studies<\/strong> at Cato Institute, as saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employer-Sponsored Green Cards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Employers can opt to pay a $2,500 fee<\/strong>, compared to the $700 <\/strong>regular processing fee, to get a reaction in 15 days<\/strong>. The standard processing time in 2016 was reduced to 1.6 years<\/strong>. From 1.9 years<\/strong> sooner, given that the individual pays a premium fee of $2,500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bier said these processing delays come on top of the time to wait for a green card cap<\/strong> slot. To become available under the annual limits <\/strong>(which can be numerous years).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The employer-sponsored immigrants<\/strong> go through six stages including a prefiling stage. That requires the candidate and employer to give documents to prove their eligibility for a green card<\/strong>. This is followed by the Department of Labor evaluating prevailing wages, skill level<\/strong>, and area code. In the case of wage determination, the wait time has gone up three-fold to 182 days<\/strong> in 2022, from 76<\/strong> out in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bier said the process is leading to huge processing backlogs<\/strong> in the employer-sponsored immigration system. “Once more, these processing backlogs are in addition to the backlog of workers <\/strong>waiting for a cap spot to become available,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This could influence America’s performance<\/strong> in the worldwide competition for talent. Since different nations grant green cards<\/strong> in a matter of a few weeks or months, not years, said Bier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
