Been working on it for the past 6 months. Part of the process for applying for Permanent Residence is a background check by the FBI though, and they’re really dragging their feet on mine.
From my superficial research going there on work/study visa seems easier. Then you can decide whether to return or not later based on how things go. What do you think is the benefit of applying for permanent residency from the beginning? That seems a bit risky for me without knowing the culture and other aspects of living there.

Did you submit via mail or at a US post office with digital submission? Post office is much faster. Maybe you filed a dispute? Wishing you luck!!
I sent it through the post office, yeah. The wait time is “up to 12 weeks” and I’m halfway through week 9 now.
