How much does it cost an employer to sponsor a green card?
In employer-based green card petitions, the employer petitions for the alien worker by filing Form I-140, “Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker.” There is no filing fee involved. However, employers must obtain the Permanent Labor Certifications (PERM), which can cost from about $4000 to $7000, or more.
How long does it take to get employer sponsored green card?
Your employer must file an I-140 petition for you. Once the USCIS receives the petition, that date will be your priority date. The I-140 typically takes an average of six months to process, though this can be expedited through premium processing.
