Question 4

How long does it take to get a green card through The University of Akron?

Accepted Answer

The employer-sponsored green card process has three main stages: PERM labor certification with the DOL (6–18 months), I-140 immigrant petition with USCIS (4–6 months, or 15 days with premium processing), and adjustment of status or consular processing. The University of Akron's median PERM processing time from filing to decision has been 108 days.

The total timeline from start to green card is typically 1–5+ years.

What is The University of Akron's green card commitment?

Accepted Answer

The University of Akron's green card commitment rate is 35.3%, calculated by dividing the number of PERM green card filings by the number of new H-1B employment and transfer positions. A higher percentage indicates the company is more likely to sponsor employees for permanent residency rather than keeping them on temporary work visas.
