Question:

I have an h1- visa now and my employer is willing to do my greencard.

What are the steps involved in getting a green card? I know that there is labor certification, then what?

Answer:

Best to wait until your H1B time is almost up.

yes, there's labor cert, followed by I-140 followed by I-485.

The bottom line is a hell of a lot of waiting. 3-5 yrs depending on where one is located.

I would suggest you hire an attorney to guide you through the maze of regulations. There are quite a few pitfalls that an amateur may not be aware of.

You already got a good answer: the next step is the I-140, and the next step after that is either I-485, or apply for the GC at a consulate (recommended unless INS improves dramatically).
