It’s tricky—family-based for close relatives is prioritized, but for more distant ones, like siblings, it’s really slow. Employment-based can also vary depending on how quickly your employer handles their side of the paperwork

i v'e heard mixed things too. If you’re in a high-demand job field, employment-based might feel a bit more straightforward. But family-based, especially for immediate relatives, doesn’t usually need labor certifications or anything like that, so it can be quicker too

when I went through the process, family-based was faster for me because I was a spouse of a U.S. citizen. But my colleague, who applied for employment-based, had his green card quicker because his employer did premium processing. So it’s kind of situational

honestly, I’ve seen both move at a snail’s pace depending on the backlog and your country of origin. I think for family-based cases, it’s smoother if it’s for close relatives like spouses, but for siblings, you’re in for a long wait

From what I know, family-based green cards can be quicker for immediate relatives, but employment-based ones might be faster if your employer is super on top of things, like with labor certifications and all

It really depends on the category. Immediate family of U.S. citizens—like spouses, kids, or parents—usually gets priority, so it’s faster in that case. But other family categories, like siblings, can take forever

Family-based green cards for immediate relatives of U.S. citizens are usually quicker, while employment-based green cards can take longer due to annual quotas and country-specific backlogs.
