My employer filed an I-140 for me, which is currently pending. I have only spent about 60 days in total in the U.S. since the I-140 was filed. Is there a rule that I must complete at least 180 days in the U.S. in order for the I-140 to be approved?

Answer

No, there is no minimum amount of time you must be in the U.S. before an employer may file an I-140 for you, or before the I-140 can be approved. In fact, there is no requirement that the individual be in the U.S. at all for an employer to file an I-140 for the individual. (24.Jul.2024)
