The waiting period for a Green Card through family-based sponsorship can vary depending on the category and country of origin.

The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) processes petitions and forwards them to the National Visa Center (NVC) for further processing.

The NVC will then schedule an interview at a US embassy or consulate.

The waiting period can range from several months to several years.

Consult with an immigration attorney to determine the best course of action and estimate the waiting time.
