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?

provision 245i... google it

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

I see, thanks.

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..
