The wait from residency to citizenship has been 5 years since 1790, when George Washington was president. I don't think it'll change.

what happens after citizenship?!!!

JK
The wait for citizenship for a green card holder is 3 years (if married with US citizen) or 5 years if not married.

Of course, I forgot about the immigration system and all of its deviations..
There is also different wait for people with GC who enroll in the Military.

How long is the wait for those who go in the military?

^Those details are not yet clear.... but if you look at the reform blueprint clearly Agjobs and Dreamers will be prioritized for legalization.I believe in the last Kennedy-Kyl bill Dreamers would have attained US residency in ~3 years.

- Individuals who are present without lawful status - not including people within the two categories identified below - will only receive a green card after every individual who is already waiting in line for a green card, at the time this legislation is enacted, has received their green card. Our purpose is to ensure that no one who has violated America's immigration laws will receive preferential treatment as they relate to those individuals who have complied with the law.

- Our legislation also recognizes that the circumstances and the conduct of people without lawful status are not the same, and cannot be addressed identically.

For instance, individuals who entered the United States as minor children did not knowingly choose to violate any immigration laws. Consequently, under our proposal these individuals will not face the same requirements as other individuals in order to earn a path to citizenship.

Similarly, individuals who have been working without legal status in the United States agricultural industry have been performing very important and difficult work to maintain America's food supply while earning subsistence wages. Due to the utmost importance in our nation maintaining the safety of its food supply, agricultural workers who commit to the long term stability of our nation's agricultural industries will be treated differently than the rest of the undocumented population because of the role they play in ensuring that Americans have safe and secure agricultural products to sell and consume. These individuals will earn a path to citizenship through a different process under our new agricultural worker program process under our new agricultural worker program.

I have question about that which I'm sure it will be addressed in the details. What will they do about people who are undocumented, but are "in the line" and will face a 10 year ban should they leave the U.S. to adjust their status? Extend 245i?
