Can my employer sponsor me for a green card?
Last reviewed: January 15, 2025
Employers can sponsor workers through employment based categories, but the process can take years. You must maintain lawful status when required.
What it means
Most cases require a labor certification and then an I-140 petition.
Common mistakes
Changing jobs mid process without advice can reset steps.
Next steps
Discuss timelines with your employer and keep records of your role.
