Today, Sophie answered three questions about green cards in the EB-1A category for extraordinary ability and multinational managers, EB-2 NIW and with PERM, as well as EB-3 for professionals. Hereâs the first: Dear Sophie, I was so close! My priority date for my EB-2 application to register permanent residence was just nine days from the date listed in the September 2022 Visa Bulletin, but now the date in the October 2022 Visa Bulletin has gone back more than two years! Iâm a software engineer and wanted to get my green card before I change jobs, but now Iâm reconsidering my path. The only thing holding me back is Iâve heard that employees will be fined if they leave their employer before they actually get the green card.
