India, China, Mexico, Philippines and a few others. But the vast majority of the applicants are from these countries.

I didn't think Mexico was in the list. A friend from Mexico got a GC after 3 years on an H1B.

If 95% of the applicants are going to wait that long then how is it not an accurate statement?
