Green card processing time through an employer without national interest waiver
Hey everyone, for those of you who got a green card sponsorship through your employers, what is the typical wait time from start to finish? Is it over three years for those from countries excluding  China and India, or can it be around one year? I'm in a situation where I was finally selected for the H1B category, but I can't wait two years for a green card. I would like to know what the processing time is like so I can decide whether to commit long-term to this opportunity or leave the country. Thank you!

There is no way that EB2 green card can be obtained in 1 year unless you have an approved I-140 already. It will definitely take more than 2 years. Getting PERM approved alone will take more than a year.

if you can't wait 2 years, go for EB1 which is always current for ROW

For EB2 ROW is around 3 years including PERM
