1. Do you have some estimate about the time it takes to go from a TN Visa (Mexican Citizen) to obtain a green card?

2. If, for some reason (layoffs, company dissapears, etc.) the whole green card process is not finished, then it means that i will not be able to get a new TN visa correct?

1) It depends on the green card path and has nothing to with being in TN status but the default employer-sponsored green card path (PERM/labor certification) is taking 2-3 years right now. 2) It's not a definite no but your demonstration of intent to get a green card could compromise your ability to get a TN, particularly in the short-term.
