My brother is a U.S. citizen currently based in India. If he files a petition for my Green Card/permenant residency status in the US, how much time will it take for me to get the Green Card? Kindly note he will file the petition from India. I have heard that if you file the application in India rather than from the US, the processing time is very less because of a much fewer cases of US citizens applying for family-based Green Card while living permanently in India. Kindly advice.

No - location means nothing - first come - first serve and they are at least 6 months backlogged for certain case types. For just a family - I believe that it is several years waiting time right now. You can check the time frames on the us immigration site.

He could sponsor you for a eco-friendly card in trouble-free terms after he turns right into a US Citizen and it would take some years. in trouble-free terms an enterprise would have the skill to sponsor you for a paintings visa and those are very perplexing to get with the economic equipment how that's. Any skill enterprise would p.c. to have the skill to coach that they won't locate somebody interior the U. S. to take the interest. At this factor in time, you would be greater valuable off seeing what you're able to do to resume your New Zealand paintings enable. given which you're interior the country already, it does no longer be extraordinarily perplexing.
