You have a very optimistic view. Everyone I know that went through the process took between six and ten years, in large part because INS/USCIS is so backlogged.

- hippich 12y agoI am from Belarus and got greencard within 2 years (including waster 5 months because of wrong ads post)
- dominotw 12y ago9 yrs and counting... :). I've lost all motivation to do anything fun/innovative with my life at this point with my 20's spent stuck in green card queue. I just feel like a resentful shell of my former self, a product of a failed nation/people.
- hippich 12y agowhy it is taking so long for you? What category you are in? And what country you are from?
- mahyarm 12y agoDo you have a masters / 5 years of experience?
- guyzero 12y agoNot really. Most people I know from the non-backlogged nations get their green cards in a few years. Part of having a good lawyer is knowing which processing centres to use. Some are definitely backlogged a very long time. I got mine in less than two years.
- aeontech 12y agoFair enough, I don't think any of them used a lawyer at all. Perhaps engaging one would have made a significant difference.
