Does Anyone Know How Long It Takes!
 

I just filed to get legalized through marriage. I already know im not leaving the states due to be trying to file before 2002 or something like that. my lawyer informed me. anyways, my lawyer sent everything about a week ago. my question is, does anyone know about how long it will take for me to be able to get the work permit. some ppl i know that went through the same say they got theirs about a month after. some say 2 months.. some say weeks. im just curious!

Congrats on the wedding. I think 2months for the working permit and 6months for the GC.

Whats this thing about trying to file before 2002 and not having to leave?

Re: Does Anyone Know How Long It Takes!

If he's ewi its the 245i, but you don't need it if you entered with inspection.

i honestly dont know but my dad filed before 2002 with his job. labor department approved him. except the guy who was sponsoring didnt give immigration a year of taxes. anyways we were that close. so because of this i qualified to not leave the country. my lawyer sent all the documents for my marriage petition about a week ago. with fine paid, pictures, documents and all. so im jus wondering how long. i guess its just up in the air it could be months or weeks huh...

why not ask your lawyer?

3 months for working permit, and 6 months for green card...from what I've heard.

I got married, was about to filed for papers, and my wife just said she wants to end it with me..

I don't know what to do.. I feel like my life is over. This one was my only chance..
