What's the usual cost for a company to change someone's status from a TN visa to an EB3/EB2 greencard? How long does it usually take?

There are multiple different EB2 and EB3 green card options so the costs and timelines can vary significantly. The timeline also can be impacted by country of birth. Very broadly, the total cost ranges from $10,000 to $25,000 and the timeline ranges from 1 year (EB1 from a country other than India or China) to 15 years (non-EB1s from India). For those not from India or China in the EB2 or EB3 category, the current processing is about 2-3 years.

EB2/3 are 80+ years for India last I checked, even more if priority date is after 2019.
