[srinivasmula]

Hi,

Thanks.

My sister's employer filed for her in 2003 and she is just now getting her green card!

Time frame's pretty hazy

It may take much less or much more time for different people, depending on various factors like RFEs etc.

Take care.

what is a RFE, knowledgeable?

which Eligibility Category was your sister, joywater? EB-1, EB-2,....?
Does the eligibility category affect the processing time?

RFE, Processing time ...

RFE = Request for Evidence
USCIS sends RFE for info on your case or to verify submitted data.

Yes, eligibility affects processing times. Read all the details at IMMIHELP here: /employment-based-greencard/

this is a great link, knowledgeable!
as a foreign-trained healthcare provider from Spain w/ a US Master specialty-degree, I thought I was going to have to file through EB-2, but the IMMIHELP link says that EB-3 are processed faster!!!!!

what category was your sister, joywater?..............................

Not sure what category she falls under but she is a special education teacher currently working on her PHD, she had no RFE'S so im not sure why it took that long.
