What is the difficulty in applying for a green card in the United States?

This makes many high-tech people who are applying for American green cards miserable. The processing time of immigration application for identity adjustment (I485) has changed from the fastest three months at the end of 2000 to more than two years now. At the same time, in order to understand the work situation of the applicant within six months after submitting the application, the Immigration Bureau has strengthened the investigation on the employment relationship between the applicant and the employer. This year, some applicants were rejected because they lost their jobs after submitting their applications. At the same time, since 2002, the approval speed of labor cards in the United States has also slowed down significantly. 1999 and 2000 only took three months to apply for a RIR, but after 200 1, it took more than one year to apply for a RIR in some areas, and now it takes more than two years. At the same time, due to strong domestic political pressure, the approval of labor cards by the US Department of Labor is becoming more and more harsh. In 2002, the Ministry of Labor refused to apply, mostly because the employer had laid off employees. In 2003, the reason became that even if the employer did not lay off employees, as long as other companies in the same industry laid off employees, the application would be rejected. Therefore, last year, the Ministry of Labor rejected many applications for labor cards for high-tech occupations. Moreover, the Labor Bureau also listed a large number of high-tech companies such as Cisco and Agilent as "not qualified to apply for labor cards at this stage", which was adjusted and supplemented by the labor department at any time, resulting in many high-tech companies simply unable to apply for labor cards for employees. Therefore, under the current political and economic situation in the United States, it can be clearly predicted that the speed and difficulty of applying for a green card in the United States will not change much for a long time to come, and it may get worse and worse. Here, experts from Hongfeng International Law Firm once again remind high-tech people who hold American H 1B work visas not to hit a wall everywhere and be in a critical situation, only to regret that they have not made careful planning and deployment for themselves and their families. Instead of getting into trouble, it is better to apply for a Canadian green card for you and your family now as a strong backing for your work and life in the United States. As a software engineer in Silicon Valley and a successful customer of our institute said, "When my family and I got the Canadian green card, I felt that my hanging heart finally settled down in recent years. I felt that my struggle in the United States finally took root and our life became more colorful." Moreover, under Canada's new immigration law, you can continue to work or study in the United States for up to four years after applying for a Canadian green card (about one year before landing and about three years after landing). Therefore, it is very worthwhile to apply for a Canadian green card. Hongfeng International Law Firm is a Canadian immigration law firm registered by the Canadian and American governments. It was founded by Mr. Mitchell, a former Canadian immigration officer, and three senior Canadian immigration lawyers. Because all applications for skilled immigrants from North America (including Canada) are processed in the Canadian Consulate in the United States, and the American branch of the institute is very familiar with the specific situation of American society by virtue of its geographical relationship with the United States, the institute has rich experience in how to successfully apply for a Canadian green card in the United States and various problems that need to be paid attention to in the whole process.
