As on now both EB2 and EB3 are current and processing time would be same for both. But there are rumors that EB3 may soon be backlogged at least for 6 months – 1 year. There are chances that Nepal may remain current but you never know. We are talking about USCIS here :( For now, here is the most realistic timeline. Fastest Realistic Labor preparation 2 months 3 months Labor approval 15 days 1 month I-140 (if premium) 7 days 15 days I-140 (if regular) 3 months 6 months I-485 3 months 8 months Time lost in between the processes - 2 months I-140 and I-1485 can be filed concurrently but I think its better to get the 1-140 approved through premium processing by paying additional $1000 and then file I-1485 with approved I-140. The fastest possible time you can get your green card is 6 months but the realistic time to expect is about 14-15 months assuming that you will not get stuck in the FBI name check during I-485 processing. If you get stuck in name check add 1 more years to the processing time. Good Luck :-)
