3 years? 6-7 years? It all depends on your country of birth.
All these are just plain rumors. The GC processing times is pased on PD and it could even take a decade.

For India, as of the last bulletin, PD for EB2 is Jan, 2000. That means, one that has applied in Jan 2000 or earlier has a chance to get a GC.

EB3 is Unavailable, meaning you have to wait till Oct to even get a visa number.

There is no easy way to explain. DO some reading.

For the example below, if the bulletin has Jan 2000 for EB2 does that mean the I-485 should have been applied before that time? or is it application for PERM?

I'm an Indian citizen. I have a Masters degree from the US and on an H1B. Is the green card wait time any less for people in my position? I ask because I keep hearing rumors, but then again, people love to talk.

Visa Number

So many terms, quite confusing.
What is the next step on our I485 application if we recieved a visa number (hopefully this Oct.)
