A person becomes a lawful permanent resident of the United States after obtaining an immigrant visa and arriving in the country (LPR). Noncitizens already in the United States may be eligible for LPR status through a process known as “adjustment of status.” The total number of permanent employment-based immigrants is capped at 140,000 each year. This figure comprises immigrants, eligible spouses, and minor unmarried children, implying that the actual number of employment-based immigrants per year is less than 140,000. The total number of visas available is then divided into five priority groups. Before filing a petition with US Citizenship and Immigration Services, the sponsor must first test the US labor market under terms and conditions defined by the Department of Labor, and the Secretary of Labor must certify that the petitioner’s application meets specific standards (USCIS). The sponsor must first submit a petition with USCIS for some categories, or the foreign national may self-petition. The foreign national must next apply for an immigrant visa at a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad, or apply to adjust status to LPR if they are already in the United States. The immigrant visa application cannot be filed until USCIS approves the immigrant petition for consular processing. The time it takes to file an adjustment of status application is determined by whether a visa number is regarded instantly available.
