First I am not very familiar with this type of visa or adjusting of statuses so please forgive my ignorance. I am asking for my friend. She is from Brazil and came into the US on a tourist visa when she was in her early 20s and overstayed about 5 years. When she was on her tourist visa she fell in love with another Brazilian who was here in the US on a work visa. They were married and they adjusted their status together. They applied for an adjustment of status him as O-1 and her as an O-3. They applied almost 3 years ago and are waiting for their permanent green card. Their lawyer told them they have to wait 5 years or more. Is this true? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

So they are currently under O-1 and O-3 status? Is he trying to adjust to an EB visa? If so, the line for an EB-3 is about six years now, though one would think that if he could qualify for an O visa, he be able to qualify for a higher priority EB visa than EB-3.
