As the second category of EB-1 (need an employer sponsor but am an "outstanding professor" supposedly) I should get a green card within about one year of applying. I sure would have liked to get a green card straight off rather than paying a pile of money for "premium processing" of my H1-B but even one year is too long for an employer. I've previously been in the US on F1 and J1 visas for a total of 5 years. EB-2 seems to take 3 years or so from what I am hearing.

By the way my salary as an Associate Professor is within $100 per year of the worst paid Full Professor in our Department (an American). I suspect that is why they set my offering salary at that point. So I'm not sure all H1-Bs are being given low salaries. The salary is about twice what I was paid in Australia at the current exchange rate at one rank lower.
