How to change your status from a O-1 Visa to a EB-1A Green Card?

The O1 visa offers a road to permanent residency in the United States through the EB-1A green card, which applicants can apply for themselves, through their employers, or through a National Interest Waiver. Because the priority dates are current, the EB-1A green card is highly desired. The processing period for an EB-1A green card is usually six to eight months, however it can take up to a year if Premium Processing is chosen. You can submit an I-485 Application to Register Permanent Residence once your EB-1A green card (I-140 petition) has been approved (adjustment of status form.) The I-485 adjustment of status takes around six months to be processed by USCIS, and Premium Processing is not available.
