Timelines for EB1

Does anyone here have any accurate estimates for how long EB1 applications are taking? My company's immigration lawyer has informed me that due to recent changes, interview requirements are no longer being waived. This means that applications for EB1 visas which used to take 6-8 months may now take up to 2 years. Anyone going through this right now?

A friend at Google applied 14 months ago, is still waiting for interview. So your Attorney seems about right. I believe my friends case is processing at Nebraska

That’s so frustrating, are you able to request an update ? Do you know why would it take so long?

Applied 20 month ago, got status update that I will get interview notice. So yes I would say it will take up to 2 years till you get GC.
