EB2 ROW (Egypt) - 1 Year from PERM to Green Card

EB-2
Success Stories

For those from Rest of World (ROW) countries, EB2 is SO much faster than India/China. Here's my 1-year journey.

My timeline:

  • Country of birth: Egypt
  • PERM filed: October 2024
  • PERM approved: February 2025 (4 months)
  • I-140 filed: March 2025 (Premium)
  • I-140 approved: March 2025 (10 days)
  • I-485 filed: March 2025 (concurrent with I-140)
  • Biometrics: April 2025
  • GC approved: September 2025!
  • Card received: October 2025

Total time: 12 months from PERM to GC

Why ROW is fast:...

Another ROW person here (Taiwan)! Can confirm - EB2 ROW is much faster. I filed in January 2025 and already have my combo card. Expecting GC approval soon.

For India/China folks considering cross-chargeability: if your spouse is from ROW country, you can use their country for the green card queue. Something to explore if applicable!
