I have not. Been practicing for about 7 years now... I was hoping there would be a straightforward way to get a green card. Just don't want to be on H1B for 10-15 years.

Thanks for all your replies. From what it looks like, I only have one option to get a green card. EB2, since my country of birth is India, I will have to wait 10-15 years to get my green card. That sucks

I am not married.

Wow I didnt know that That isn't good So, it depends on your country of origin, like the country you were born in and not which country you are citizen of? I was born in India I came to canada when I was 3 years old That means it will take me 10 to 15 years on a EB2 category to get a green card Correct? I don't know if there is any other way for me to get a green card. Through marriage yes but I am not doing that...

Thanks for your reply!

TN VISA is for 3 years and it can keep getting extended for 3 years and so on. But if I went to get a green card in US, I will have to go the H1B route as TN is not a dual intent visa :( Definitely need to apply for H1B first

EB1 processing time is about 1 year EB2 processing time is years, now sure how many, Like 4 to 6 years for a Canadian citizen. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

Yes I am.

Hi experts, I am a Canadian citizen - dentist. I am planning on moving to US on a TN visa in a few months. I am going to start looking for an employer who will sponsor my TN visa. I would like to apply for a US green card in the near future. I would like to understand the process. 1. Employer sponsors my TN visa. 2. Next year by April, employer will apply for H1B before April 5th. 3. Hopefully my H1B will get picked in lottery. My question really comes after this, As a dentist, can my employer file for my green card in EB1 category? How long will it take to get my green card via EB1? If not, what are the other options and processing times. I know and understand that next year things my change. Processing times vary as per Visa processing center, category of Green card filing, etc. But still approximately? Since I am Canadian citizen, I was reading somewhere it is 4 to 6 years... Thanks in advance!
