I can recommend a few attorneys if you DM me

Thank you so much! DM-ing you now

Ellis Porter (not DC based but great firm, worked with them on a number of cases). All of their attorneys have 30min free consultation. For H1B, reach out to Natalia Sarraf. Green card will be someone else, possibly Jonathan Goslow. But start with Natalia and she’ll connect you with some others as needed.

Anyone here waiting for a Family Based Green Card, my lawyer filed it last September 2021. It’s 14 months now… still waiting.

Just wanted to know if anyone of you got it earlier than 2 years?

Saw this while searching —
“In most cases, it takes about two years for a green card to become available, and the entire process takes around three years. It can take slightly longer for citizens of Mexico, China, India, and the Philippines.”

On a brighter note — Got my EAD March 2022.
