尊敬的8老师，

我们的I140 和485两周前一起提交，目前还没有receipt. 昨天才知道I140没有用加急申请。我先生估计跟律师之间没有沟通好此事，只是assume加急申请了。所以现在想问一下几个问题。

1. 如果不追加急，普通申请，到拿到绿卡大概会需要多久？我猜要至少一年半，坏者3年都有可能？

-Hard to say, depends on whether your priority date is current based on FINAL ACTION DATES FOR EMPLOYMENT-BASED PREFERENCE CASES (i.e., "A Form").

If your priority date is current (based on "A Form"), you may use premiujm processsing for the I-140 to get it approved in 15 days and thus, your I-485 may be approved quickly. But if your priority date is not current, you may not need to waste your money to do the premium processing for the I-140. So, check the Visa Bulletin in May 2023 before you request premium processing.

2. 如果现在想追加急，是不是要等到拿到receipt才能申请加急？

-Yes.

因为现在没有case#. 

3. 申请了加急，到拿到绿卡是不是快很多？

-See above explanation.

我看其他人分享的时间线，有的3,4个月就拿到了。当然他们的运气也是相当的好。

4. 加急申请必须由律师提出发送到移民局吗？还是可以我们自己填表邮寄至移民局？

-If the I-140 petitoner is your spouse (i.e., the I-140 is EB-1A), he can file I-907 by himself, not have to bother the lawyer, especially the lawyer may charge you extra service fee. But if the I-140 is sponsored by his employer, then he has to ask the lawyer to do it because the lawyer represents the employer. 

非常感谢您的一路帮助！我原本想下次来是告诉您好消息呢。现在感觉又进了无底洞。好事多磨吧。
