My employer got me through the Green Card process in about 14 months. In their defense, I was pretty lazy at the beginning about giving them much of the info that they wanted. But once they completed the package to their satisfaction (after I begrudgingly gave them everything they wanted), I had the Green Card within 6 - 8 months. I was on an H1B during this process, a status which I moved to after multiple years of 12 month TN visa admissions.
Our people said that being on an H1B was advantageous, in their experience, for moving towards the Green Card. They had a very stringent process that they adhered to for preparing the Green Card application, and it was mostly because they had enough experience to know that it practically guaranteed them the outcome they wanted.
