You can certainly obtain an EB-2 NIW if qualified.

There is various law firms saying you can get a green card blah blah blah, in reality you pay anything from 20-30K USD upfront and have a 12 month minimum wait time to see if its approved or not, of course they will tell you its a high chance.
Most things in USCIS are taking 12 months plus, even immediate relative petitions.

If anyone would like to discuss their individual situation, feel free to reach out. I'm an immigration attorney and airline pilot in the US.
