A recent social media post shared the successful transition of an individual from an O-1 visa to an EB1-A green card, marking a significant milestone on Presidents’ Day. The author, who spent approximately three years on an O-1 visa, received their green card after a total processing time of 17 months for the I-140 and I-485 applications.
Key Details:
- I-140 processing time: 12 months
- I-485 processing time: 5 months
- Total time from application submission to green card receipt: 2 years due to personal circumstances
- I-140 can be filed concurrently with I-485, and premium processing is available but was not utilized in this case.
This successful transition highlights the potential for expedited green card processing through the EB1-A category, which is known for its relatively quick approval times compared to other green card categories.
