Dear netters:
I have a friend who works for a big company.  The company's lawer filed his 
Green Card application based on 1st category Employment-based earlier this 
year.  Because this stupid lawer still don't understand much things about 
GC application, his case has been rejected.  Now my friend think maybe he 
should apply under CSPA since he don't have the control if the lawer continues
to make mistakes.  His major concern is that if he apply now under CSPA, when
his wife can apply as a LAD? And approximately how long it will take for his 
wife to get approved?
Thank you!

How long his wife will wait can be estimated by the following fact:
1. There are about 50,000 CSPAers, 1/4 of them have lads, so the total lads
who have filed will be 50,000 * 1/4 = 12,000.
2. Each year, there are 2,500 visa for China 3th preference, including those
who seek GC through H-1.
3. Most of the lads have filed at this point and most of them have the 7/1
priority date

So his wife will wait at the end of the line. How long it will take can be
calulated by yourself.

FYI only
Good luck for the long waiting.
