It doesn't lead directly to a green card

Yes, through an employer-sponsored PERM Labor Certification followed by an I-140 and I-485 filing.

The H-1B is a dual-intent visa, so it allows you to pursue a green card while working.

Processing time can range from 1 to 3 years, depending on the visa category and country.
