> the wait times for green cards are up to 50 years, depending on your country of origin. Ok, I'm going to press X to doubt. Going by the US Visa bulletin(https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2020/visa-bulletin-for-june-2020.html https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/v...) the longest wait is 24 years for F3-class from Mexico. Obviously that isn't good but let's not pretend that it's anywhere near 50 years.

The poster is right, though it takes a bit more work than briefly scanning the visa bulletin to figure it out. The poster is likely referring to employment 2nd and 3rd preference workers of Indian nationality. The visa bulletin has a current wait time of 11 years. However, that is saying that someone who entered the line 11 years ago will qualify today. In the last 11 years vastly more Indian nationals have entered the green card line than have been processed out of it. It's not 100% clear how long someone who enters the line today will have to wait, but 50 years is a reasonable guess given the numbers.
