How long does it take for your green card to come through after you have been approved?

I guess it depends on where you are or which office you were interviewed in.  After the interview, I received my green card in less than two weeks.

Depends what sort of visa. For a permanent residents visa or a spouse's visa it can take up to 2 years.\n\nYou can get a tourist visa in a few weeks.

You don't need to wait until you are approved for your green cdard to obtain your SScard.  You may receive it after you have obtained employment authorization by filing an I-765 form with a pending I-485 if your status is currently available.\n\nIt is desirable to personally appear at the SS office rather than mailing.\n\nI'm an immigration attorney, and this is old hat.

IT DEPENDS,IF YOU MARY A CITIZEN IT USUALLY TAKES ABOUT 3-4 YEARS.IF YOU APPLY FOR IT OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY IT TAKES 5-7 YEARS.

A few months.  However, you can pay extra and have it done as a rush order, in which case I believe it takes about 6-8 weeks.\n\nIf you get a passport form, it is actually written right on there.

I personally had not gotten it, but my close friend did.... it took maybe a year or so, she had to go through the same process like medical exam and interview like everyone else, \nshe is now a US resident, she can live and work here, she has all the rights of a US resident, and eligible to apply for citizenship in 5 yrs if she passes the requirements....\nshe applied when she lived in her own country, and was told she got it when she was the US on a student visa, so she had to go back home and go to the embassy there to do the interview and paperwork so she would not loose her appointment date etc....\nit's nothing fancy to come into the country, just enter with your green card like all the other residents!

There is no quota, so there is no backlog and no reason the process will be delayed except by processing time in the US, and queueing up in the workload of the US embassy.  How long it will actually take to be able to apply for the visa after the petition is approved depends on the embassy's workload and on how long it takes you to get your documents ready.

It depends on if you have citizenship or green card. If you have citizenship 4 to 6 months. If you have a green card 10 to 11 years.

That depends on your location and circumstances and category you applied under! My green card only took a little under a year and a half!! I believe freedom is talking about citizenship ! That's something completely different!

There is no specific time period, it depends on the embassy and how busy they are. I heard of processing times as long as 3-4 years. Have they called you for an interview yet ?\nHave you applied through the federal program or the provincial nomination?\n\nI applied through the provincial nomination program and it took my application 6 months all together, i know the federal program takes at least 1 - 1 1/2 years so I suspect you should hear something soon... Give them a call and try to find out what's going on...

It took me approximately 4 months to hear from the embassy after my fiance sent the F-129 form, and after that another 3 months for me to get the visa. If you have any more questions let me know, we got married and we are not done yet. Good Luck.

File I129f.  This is the fiance visa.  It will take about 6 months for the process to complete and she can get her visa.  Once she is in the US you have 90 days to get married.  Once you get married you need to file I485 which is adjustment of status or a green card.  I765 is a work permit and I131 which allows her to leave the country while you wait for the green card.  Good luck. \nGo to www.uscis.gov and you can download the form.  Don't hire an attorney, they just charge you for stuff you can do on your own.

I went through this, I’m from Lebanon from the date my husband (my fiancé back then) sent the paperwork till I got the visa it was 8 months. It depends on the state you applied in, some states handle a lot of immigration paperwork so it takes more time, like in TX but fortunately our paperwork went through a different state and we got off faster than expected.

Some attorneys said that as long as your petition was filed by April 30, 2001 with DOL or INS, despite the result, you can still be grandfathered by that petition when now your greencard sponsor can sponsor for you. When it's approved, you can do adjustment of status in the US by paying $1000 penalty fee.
