How soon can American workers apply for green cards?

Green card problem: apply for labor paper first, and the company will advertise your position in the United States to see if any Americans are willing to do it. After three months, if there is no American application, the US Department of Labor will begin to accept the company's application and issue you a work permit after approval. The company provides the company profile and your work permit to the Immigration Bureau, and declares the I- 140 form (that is, the immigration application form) for you. After the examination and approval by the Immigration Bureau, the I-485 form, that is, the application form for change of identity, began to be filed. After Form 485 is approved, your temporary status will become a permanent resident of the United States. That is, I got a green card. This procedure is generally handled by the company. Generally, it takes half a year from applying for a labor paper to approving the I- 140 form. Due to the limitation of the number of people waiting in line every year, it takes a long time. But if the I- 140 form is approved, even after six years, you can apply for an indefinite extension and wait for a green card while working in the United States.
