Same job, same category, same priority date. Only the country of birth changes. See how different the wait looks from each place.

How this works

For each country we use the same estimator as the wait estimator: the current Final Action date and how fast it has moved over the last 1, 3 and 5 years. The 'likely' date is shown here. Country of birth decides your place in line because of the 7% per-country limit.

An estimate, not legal advice. Your own case can differ; talk to an immigration attorney before acting on it.
