I thought it would take about one year according to the experience of many other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although my I-140 application has been approved, it doesn&#8217;t mean that I have got my green card. Instead, I will need to wait until the immagration department&#8217;s final action date to arrive at my priority date (September 13, 2022) to submit my I-485 form to adjust my status and finally get the card. Right now the final action date is June of 2019, which means I will need to wait for at least 3-4 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, it is a great leap forward, the rest is just a matter of time.
