How long is the GC process for someone who’s not from China, India or other countries with the long wait times?

Only India and China have long wait times.

For the rest, averages approx :
Perm including recruiting: 6 month-1 year
I140: 2 weeks premium, 3 months regular
I485: 6 months-1Y

So you are looking at 1-2.5Y in average

Entire process but you keep your priority date. Unless it’s been 6 months after you filed 485. In that case you can transfer entire process if your new duties are described as equal to the old ones

140 and 485 can be filed together so it’s only really PERM which takes long

And 485
