Prevailing Wage Determination: 1-2 months
Recruitment Process: min 2 months
PERM: 4-8 months
I-140: 2 weeks if premium processing
4-6 months under regular processing
NVC & Interview: 2-4 months
Regarding TN visa, if an employer sponsors you for GC while working with TN visa, you can definitely go ahead with GC processing but, as TN is not a dual intent visa, any further travel on TN visa or TN extension or application may be denied.
Thanks Arken,
I'm a little bit confused, so mention that i rather apply EB2 from Canada than come to work under TN status if i want to get Green Card in the future?

I mean once you are in the USA you can adjust your status if your circumstances change. You cannot intentionally use the TN status to enter the USA to adjust status. That is visa fraud. Just as it would be fraudulent to enter the USA on a tourist or student visa to intentionally adjust status. The TN visa is not dual intent.
Hi NikLR,
So can you explain for me two more things:
1/Related to the circumstances change, in my case, if i don't marry American person, what could it be that event to be able to apply the EB2 when i'm in the US under TN visa?
2/ In my case, if i apply the EB2 from Canada, the process could take serveral months, can i apply any other temperary visa to work in US during that processing time?
Thank you,

Hi NickLR,
Thanks for your reply. i'm not clear about your answer. Do you mean i can't apply for EB2 green card when i'm staying in US under TN visa?

hi Arken,
Thanks for your reply.
could you clarify the EB2 processing time 11-15 months, how do you got this information? do you know a real case similar to mine or information from US consular website?

Hi,
I'm new member of this forum, any suggestion for my problem is appreciated.
I went through the forum but i don't see the topics similar to my situation, so please give me some informations.
First of all, I'm Canadian, was born in Vietnam. I finish my master degree in Montreal, Canada in 2011 and got Canadian citizenship in 2014. I have 7 years work experience as software developper in Montreal. Now, i want to move all of my familly to California because of the wheather. I'm interviewing with some companies in California, the company will support me to apply for work visa. As my research, i'm qualified to apply Green Card under EB2 cathegory.
Here are my questions:
-1/ if the USA company support me to apply for EB2 green card before i come to work in USA, how long is the processing time? Do you know any body who has the same situation as mine (Canadian born outside Canada apply green Card under work cathegory)? i want to know the real case to estimate the processing time for myself because my wife doesn't have Canadian citizenship yet, so this processing time is important for me to take decision when i got the job offer.
/2 if i come to USA to work under TN visa, then the company support me to apply for Green card when i'm working in USA, how long is the processing time? in this case, is it faster than i apply for green card from Canada? Please let me know if you know any similar situation?
Thanh you for taking time to answer my questions.

Hi Randomstairs,
Thank's for your input, i don't want to apply for immigrant visa from Canada because the processing time could take long. I think i can start with the H1B first then apply EB2 later.
