If you sent an I-765 together with your permanet residency application , shoudn't be more then 2-3 months... the processing time for the green card based on marriage is 6-15 months so it's a good ideea to send an I-765 together with your application if you want to work during the processing time

To receive US citizenship through marriage, you must first get a green card (permanent residence), after two years have the conditions of permanent residence removed, and after one more year, if you have lived in the US continuously for 3 years or more with trips of no longer than 6 months, you can apply for citizenship.

it depends on how he entered the US. If he legally entered with a visa and overstayed then when you get married you could petition for him to adjust his status to permanent resident with immigration.... if he came into the country without visa...then he may have to go back to his country and wait there until your petition for fiance visa comes thru....normally...after you have filed your petition for your husband...he will be given a conditional green card 3-6 months after you have filed the petition....the conditional green card will be valid for 2 yr... 90 days before the expire of the green card ...you husband will have to provide proof to immigration to remove the condition and receive his permanent 10 yr green card...if he's approved he will receive his 10 yr green card and then wait 3 yrs if still married to you or 5 yr continued stay in the US to be eligible to apply for US citizenship.....visit the link below... good luck!

It depends on your status now.  If you are illegal, you need to get a work visa.  First step: you need a US citizen sponsor--a relative, spouse, etc.--then hire an immigration lawyer to help you petition Homeland Security for permission to continue to the the next step, which is (for Mexicans) to live in a Mexican border town that has a US consul until that consul issues or Denys your work visa.  You might be there 3 to 8 months.  If you are here legally, you must get a green card, if you have a green card you have to wait a bit over four years to apply for citizenship.

You are rushing things.  Your marriage to a US citizen doesn't automatically get you anything.  If your wife wants you to join her, she must petition for you.  If the petition is approved, you must then apply for an immigrant visa.  If the visa is granted, you can finally go to the US and receive a green card, which will entitle you to live and work in the US.\n\nHere is the process:\nhttp://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_2991.html

if you marry outside the US you have to apply to the US embassy and wait for weeks up to a year to get a Visa, once you get it you have 6 months to travel, when you enter USA you have 90 days to get married and register it, you get a 2year green card, then you have to apply again for another green card for 3 years or so, then you get passport.\n\nIt may take 5-7 years to get US passport starting your first approval of the US embassy for a visa.

You got married so you lost your chance to come to the USA through the I-130 petition your father filed. Even if it gets approved,t he consulate will never let you come in when they find out about your marriage. There is one solution to your problem. If your father has been a resident for at least 4 yrs and 9 months, then he should go ahead and file for citizenship so that he can petition you. Once your father has been granted citizenship, then you should attach a copy of your I-130 receipt with a copy of your father's certificate of naturalization or a copy of his new US passport and a copy of your marriage certificate and your child's birth certificate asking them to change your category to " married son or daughter of a US citizen". Your mother and brother and younger sister should also mail a copy of proof of your father's naturalization and your father should follow up by calling the USCIS hotline to make sure they matched up the new evidence to their file and are processing their cases under the new faster category.\n\nOtherwise, ask your father if he can find you an employer in the US that can sponsor you or your husband for a labor certification, if you are a semi-skilled or skilled worker. That way you could come to the US through employment sponsorship. You will need an immigration lawyer to help. \n\nDon't listen to the hate filled idiots like the one above telling you to stay home. Obviously you are looking to do this the legal way, only an idiot can not see that. good luck.

Well it helps if you have a work visa but if you are married to a US citizen it takes a little while before they give you your resident card that allows you to work. Have you tried talking to INS? check out this site....\nhttp://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=1847c9ee2f82b010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=1847c9ee2f82b010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD

Ok,  you are talking about different concepts.  The first concept is the time it takes to become eligible to apply for US citizenship.  The second concept is the time it takes to process your application for US citizenship.\n\nFirst,  depending on your individual circumstances,  it takes anywhere from 1 or 3 or 5 years to become eligible to become a US citizen.  The general rule, in most cases, is that it takes 5 years from the date you became a Lawful Permanent Resident (legal terminology for when one gets his/her green card or immigrant visa), to APPLY for US citizenship.  \n\n(The 1 year period applies in VERY special situations, usually involving service in military;  the 3 year period only applies to those who immigrated as the spouse of a US citizen,  are married to that same spouse when they apply for US citizenship, and are still married to that same spouse, when they are sworn in as US citizens).\n\nSecond, the processing time varies.  Once you apply, it is taking -on average -- from 6 months to 1 year -- for the government to process your application and either approve or deny.  \n\nThere are still people who applied in years past, who have been waiting 3, 4 years and have to file special actions in Court to get the government to process their application.  \n\nHope this answers your questions.

No, you will have to wait and let your husband petition for her when he is a US citizen, you can be her sponsor though. If he does a petition for her it can take about 10 years.

This is for marriage with a US citizen only.\n\nIf the marriage occurs abroad, the petition for green card must be filed through a U.S. Consulate with jurisdiction over the applicants place of residence. The process typically takes 6 months or longer. \n\nHowever, the applicant may work and live in the U.S. from the date of filing. Thus the processing period (typicall longer 12 - 18 months) is not as inconvenient as it would seem since she or he can reside with the fiance.  As a result, many newly weds prefer to undertake the entire green card application process in the U.S.

You may apply the minute you marry, It takes 4-5 month to get the temporary Green card, then another 2 years to get permanent green card. then after 5 years the spouse can apply for citizenship.

If he's here as a legal permanent resident - none! If he's here on a visa you can marry and file for Residency as a couple. You will have to provide details of earnings for the past 3 years to show you won't be a burden on the state and are above the poverty line in income. As the sponsor you also take on the liability of reimbursing any costs the Govnt may incur should he be out of work for any reason (social security etc) Check the immigration website for full details, downloadable forms etc.\n Once you have obtained Residency status for your spouse he will have to be resident in the US for 3 years with no break longer than 6 months before he can apply for citizenship. If he is already a permanent resident, obtained in a way other than marriage, he will have to wait 5 years before applying for citizenship.
