How long does it take to get a work permit after marrying a US citizen?

Answer 1

The biometric appointment is usually 1 to 2 months after sending in the adjustment of status forums after you are married in the USA. The work permit usually comes 2 to 3 months after the biometric. The whole process can take 3 to 6 months. It always just depends on so many unknown government variables.

After marrying a US citizen if you were given the conditional status valid for 2 years you can apply for green card 90 days before conditional status expires.

Answer 5

When you file your green card application you can file form Form I-765, "Application for Employment Authorization": if the alien spouse does not have a work visa (for example an H1B visa), this form can be used to request employment authorization card.

You should get the EAD card in within 90 days.
