Green Card Expenses

Question details

For an employment-based green card application in the EB2 category, my employer has said that they would be willing to make the application if I am willing to pay for it. Can the employee bear the total cost of the entire process -- including attorney's processing fees, filing fees for all stages, advertising fees, EAD, advance parole fees -- from start to final stamping?

ANSWER

The employer is bound by law to pay for all expenses, including legal fees, associated with the PERM process (but not the rest of the green card process).
