Thanks all. Clarification on TPS. For many of the countries mentioned, the administration has revoked TPS this year, but it is all in litigation so people are very much in a precarious position.
Yes, it's true unfortunately for some type of cases. They all vary but there are certain family-based categories that can take over 20 years for a visa to become available. This is to gain Lawful Permanent Resident Status. It would be an additional 5 years of having LPR status before they can apply for citizenship.

Is it true that it can take up to 24 years for most hard-working Latinos to gain citizenship?
