Almost impossible with PERM and AOS processing time. By the end of 2023 would be more realistic assuming you're ROW under a normal situation

like

They’ll take a week to assess the findings of recruitment and prep your file for perm filing. Currently perm filing is taking 6 months. If you are ROW, currently AOS is taking about10 months based on what I am seeing on trackkit. You will not get your green card by the end of the year. You will have passed your perm step though.

like

I’d say estimate 2 more years before you get your green card if you’re ROW. PERM ~6mo, I-140/I-485 prep ~2mo, I-485 processing ~14mo

like

Yes, you can leave for another job after your AOS application has been pending for at least 180 days and you have (or will have) an approved I-140. Your new position can be with a different company but it must be substantially similar to your PERM position. You may need to get a your own attorney for that process as it involves paperwork. Google USCIS I-485 180-day portability rule for more info.

Thanks everyone. Can we not pay expedited fee for I-485 processing?

like

No premium processing for I485.
Only I140 has premium processing and it even depends on the EB category you are applying for that will determine if u can expedite or not.

Got it. Still pretty good, considering PwC charges 3500(?) I think for premium processing. They add in the lawyer fees

Hey mates, I have an overall experience of 14 years with 6lakh CTC.
