Green Cards for Physical Therapists
I am a licenced physical therapist in Michigan and working on my OPT. Is it true that PTs and nurses are exempted from the labor certification during green card process? and they do not need to file labor certification?
And considering the current scenario, can you please let me know approximately how much time does it take for a physical therapist to get a green card?
PT's and RN's are both exempt from filing labor cert, but the time for their green card processing is still tied to the time it takes for people from the country of their birth. An India-born PT will wait the same time in EB-3 category as any other India-born EB-3 applicant.
I first time contacted Rajiv in January 2007 by sending my CV and asked his opinion about EB1 success.
He called me next day and said that you have 50-50 chance to get EB1 approval. Immediately, we started working and in April 2007 we filed the I-140.
Since it was premier processing we got the RFE in 10 days, i was disappointed and Rajiv convinced me not to worry we will take care of it.
Both Rajiv and his team composed of Diane worked with me to collect more evidence and response the RFE in August 07, and Approval came in Sept 07.
Then they filed I-485 in Oct 2008, and Approval came today.
In summary, i would recommend all my friend and relative to hire Rajiv 's services for immigration purpose. I had an excellent working experience with his team and most importantly very nominal charges.
Thanks Rajiv and Diane for bringing freedom in my life.
GOOD JOB
