Time to get GC in hand after PD is current

[gcguy82]

Hi,

I am from India and My Priority date is April 7, 2009. It will be current in March 2019 Visa bulletin. I am trying to plan my India trip once i receive my GC in hand. I would like to know what is the typical Processing time to get the physical GC in hand after PD becomes current.

Please share your experience if you received your GC recently in the last couple of months. It would be helpful to make my plans accordingly.

Also, is there interview requirement if i filed my I-140 in 2009/2010 timeframe? I found that only I-140 applications filed after 2017 will be called for interview. Please clarify.

Thanks in advance!!!

If you have to file AOS within the US you will need to file I-485, I-765 and I-131
It varies by office but normally to file I-485 (Adjustment of status) takes 8-12 months, I-765 and I-131 (for EAD and Advance Parole) takes 4-6 months.

Sorry i should have given more details about my situation. I already have my EAD and AP for the past 4.5 years. I recently responded in November 2018 to an RFE request for my I-485 asking me to give an updated medical exam and Supp J form for Bonafide job offer. So for the I-485 application pretty much all has been provided and i am just waiting for my date to go current.

My date is becoming current in the March Visa bulletin. And I wanted to know how long does it take to get the Card in hand when everything else is ready with respect to my application.

Thanks for your help!!
