How long does a marriage-based green card take in 2026?

For a U.S. citizen filing for a spouse already in the United States via concurrent I-130/I-485, USCIS processing is currently approximately 10 to 14 months for the green card itself, with an interim Employment Authorization Document (EAD) typically issued within 5 to 8 months of filing. Consular processing for a spouse abroad generally runs 12 to 18 months.

Can I work while my green card application is pending?

Yes. When you file Form I-485 (Adjustment of Status), you may concurrently file Form I-765 for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD). The EAD typically issues within 5 to 8 months of filing and authorizes lawful U.S. employment while the green card is pending.

Do you handle removal defense and Immigration Court cases?

Yes. We represent clients in removal proceedings before Immigration Judges, including bond hearings, cancellation of removal, asylum, withholding and Convention Against Torture claims, criminal-immigration analysis, and appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

Do you serve clients outside Pennsylvania?

Yes. Our firm represents clients across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York for USCIS filings, and appears in Immigration Courts in the region. Most USCIS filings can be handled remotely without an in-person office visit.

What should I bring to my first immigration consultation?

Bring any USCIS notices you have received, current passport or other government ID, prior immigration filings if any, your most recent I-94 if applicable, marriage and birth certificates relevant to family-based cases, and any criminal records. If something is missing, do not delay scheduling — bring what you have and we will identify the rest.
