If someone born in India files for greencard now, when will they get it?
Title explains all. Which is the official page that can predict GC grant date for a person born in India.
Depends on many factors? EB1/2/3/5? Family based? Are they married to a non-Indian?
Depends on the Green Card class. EB2 and EB3 are taking around 10 to 15 years today. EB1 around 6 years.However, these times are increasing, and dates can move backwards due to backlog, for example, 2 years ago, they were much less than now. As such, if you do the projections, you can arrive to the 150 years as some people say. Some of these dates can be found here: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2019/visa-bulletin-for-august-2019.html
Thanks a ton AMD . This is really helpful!
15 years for EB2 sounds over optimistic.
150 years
It will actually reach an equilibrium of just before 65, with the majority never getting it (exiting the queue).
Yeah some companies start it at the end
If eb2 or eb3 and per country cap law does not change , assume 75-150 years. If EB1, it depends. If ROW demand is high enough: If you file I-140 today, you are talking about 40k additional applications before you. At ~3000 per year, it will take at least 13 years before you can file your i-485. If ROW demand is low enough to provide spillover to India — 4-5 years If s386 is passed, it will be a cakewalk. 2-3 years
It will never be 2-3 years if s386 passes.
Talking about EB1. For eb2/3 it will be obviously 10+
I hope S386 doesn’t pass. Too much flooding of Indians will delay in citizenships and family based green cards. And worse Americans will get pissed of Indians taking jobs and cause another exclusion act like in 1924. Let’s hope balance remains as it is today.
First, what’s your visa status? Country of chargeability? Do you have a green card or EAD?
The problem is the greencard system isn't selective enough and it's letting in a bunch of low rent consultants in addition to a lot of quality engineers. S386 doesn't fix that and that makes it a bad bill because the low rent consultants end up displacing people from rest of world. One solution would be to remove the cap only for EB2 and don't process any EB3 visas until EB2 is cleared. We should also raise the standards for EB2 but that can apply to new people.
Eb1, 2 or 3?
On one hand you support parties like bjp and Congress and on other side want to leave your own country.. what a shame...
How do you know he’s not from Southern India where the BJP and Congress get decimated routinely? What a shame....
EB2 moved 44 days in 2019 and is at 5/15/2009 per https://www.immihelp.com/visa-bulletin-movement/eb2-india/final If we consider 50 days movement per year, it takes 10 years to move 500 days! My math could be wrong and there could be other factors I’m not considering. Note that there was an explosion in EB2 petitions between 2012 and 2015 as lots of students moved to the US for their masters degree (due to better awareness and access to opportunity) post 2010. You get the picture.
Other factors would be people start dying out due to old age. Considering how long it takes, it will happen in the next decade.
Another help would be people being fed up and moving to another nation, or back to India . Although you dying is more a realistic chance before other things contribute :) . But it’s a great thing to live all life without voting all adult life.
After 20 years
Thanks Facebook. Over the Internet,I am seeing a wide range of 10 to 150 years hence this confusion. What’s the source of your information?
20-151 years for eb2.
