Re: I-140 approval time

You are confusing two different applications. An LCA is filed with an H-1B application. No I-140 is filed. A labor certification (LC) is filed with the US Department of Labor, and once it is approved, then the employer files an I-140 application. The processing time will depend on when you filed the I-140 and the category under which the application was filed. You can check the processing times at the USCIS website.
