I am interested in finding information on moving to LA. In the event I get an 'offer letter of employment' from a potential employer, how long does the green card application take?
Secondly, what does this mean for my wife and three kids....for surely they will not be staying in Canada, my wife works from home typing transcripts making good money for two companies in Canada. She NEVER has to go in to work, and it's all done via internet and email.
How can we both get green cards for us and our kids?
I can't answer this but it's a premature question as I'm sure you realize that getting any kind of a working visa or resident status isn't going to happen overnight. IF you obtain status, your wife doesn't automatically get it and you're realistically looking at a possible time frame of a couple of years after your acceptance where she's concerned. Keep reading! Cheers!
The how long it takes question on the link above does not state a specific (nor a ballpark) timeframe......for surely they can't expect me to be apart from my spouse and kids for any length of time can they?
I think you'll find that IF you get a job and a visa, your wife and children will certainly be allowed to accompany you but your wife won't be able to work without her own visa.
