How long does it usually take for American immigrants to sign h 1b?

H 1B this visa is a temporary work visa for artists. Each issue is 2 years, which can be extended twice for you. If the company does not apply for a green card for you, you can work in the United States for up to six years. After you come to work, the general company will evaluate you for half a year. If you are satisfied with you and want to hire you for a long time, you should start to apply for a green card. First, apply for a labor paper, 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 no Americans apply, 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.
