Our administrator has a close friend who is from France. She was here on a student Visa. From the day she graduated (and decided she wanted to stay in the US) it took less than 20 months to have her citizenship. Not green card;
citizenship. And it takes Mexican and Central American immigrants over 10 years just to get permission to work.
