What time does it take to get my green card?
I am unmarried and reside inside the united states in students status. I am doing my Ph.D. in mathematics. My father from Nepal has permanent residence and he filed an I-130 petition for me before two years. How much time does it take to get a green card from this process? How much time does it take approximately to file adjustment of status?

It is about a 4-6+ year process to get a visa on the basis of being a grown son/daughter of a US permanent resident so it is probably going to be faster for you to get a green card on the basis of employment once you are completed with your PhD and get a permanent position.
