Hi,
Allow about 10 month for the PERM application (also known as application for alien employment certification) to be certified by the Department of Labor. After PERM certification, the employer has 180 days to file the petition for immigrant worker (Form I-140) under the EB2 or EB3 category: http://www.h1b1.com/EB1.htm
Then you would need to wait for the priority date to be current before you can file the last step, adjustment of status application. We have information about priority dates here: www.h1b1.com/visawaiting.htm
