Question 6

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

Accepted Answer

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?

Accepted Answer

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.

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.
