I married a Japanese permanent resident and applied for permanent residence and it will be 2 years next February.
A Japanese lawyer told me that it takes an average of 1.5 years, not 2 years ｡ but if anyone is in a similar situation or knows more details about the process of obtaining permanent residence, I would appreciate any information!

It seems to be taking a long time now. You mention below that it is taking
a long time to update.
You should go to the site and check your status.

I think the situation will change depending on whether you are applying from Japan or within the U.S.
I think it would be easier to comment if you had a brief current progress report.

The link below is to a green card applicant forum.
For your information.

Then the procedure is in two stages, I-130 (petition) and I-485 (permanent resident application ）).
If next February will be 2 years, then
the I-130 has already been accepted and you are waiting for the I-485 interview?

Currently, the waiting time for I-485 in Honolulu is
24.5 months and 80% processed, right?
https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

If I understand correctly, if you are married to a green card holder, the I-485 should be filed after the
I-130 is accepted.
Based on the information above, 80% of people are processed in about 2 years from the date the I-485 is filed.

If next February is two years from the filing of the I-485, then the goal may be close.
Conversely, if the two years includes the I-130 processing period, we may wait another year or so.

One more thing, is Aoi-san in Japan now ？
In that case, the I-485 is not processed in the US, but through the US Embassy
・ Consulate in Japan, so
the processing time will be different.

Yes, once the I-130 is approved by USCIS, the case is sent to the National Visa Center (NVC) at the Department of State, where the NVC coordinates the schedule with the U.S. Embassy in Japan, and after an interview at the Embassy, the immigrant visa is issued. Once it is confirmed that you entered the U.S. on that immigrant visa, a green card will be sent to your registered address after you enter the country.

The immigrant visa application form is the DS-260, and once NVC processes Aoi's case, it will begin the process of paying the application fee and processing the DS-260. Please refer to the following links for more information.

Back to the main topic, the processing time is
USCIS reviews the I-130,
NVC reviews the case,
DS-260 application to interview,
and the processing speed depends on how busy each department is. The speed will vary depending on the busyness of each department.
It would be easier to compare your time with others if we know where you are in this process.
