Yep, I'm going for my Greencard through the EB program, and because I'm from New Zealand my priority date (which is where the queue starts), is "current" which means the day the paperwork gets approved, things can move forward. If I were Chinese or Indian the priority date is years ago - the current Indian priority date for the EB3 is 2009.

It's already more difficult, expensive and time consuming to get a Greencard vs. permanent residency in comparable Western nations. My Greencard will take 18+ months, $15k and a very flexible employer and I'm walking into the system with a lot of advantages. I feel for Indians and Chinese people in the system.
