It depends on how you are applying for green card. The US green card can be applied through family member, employment or marriage. A family member who is already a green card holder can petition for alien relative using the Form I-130 and once the priority date becomes current the alien can get the visa and enter US as green card holder. Next is through employer who has to petition and green card can be got either with or without labor certification. Lastly after an alien marries a US citizen or green card holder and is petitioned with Form I-130, the alien can adjust status to permanent resident after two years of successful marriage using Form I-485.

∙ 12y agoThere is no minimum time limit as such.A person can enter US as a green card holder itself if he/she had been through the consular process to get green card staying outside US. So once the visa is available you can get green card after being petitioned by a US citizen sponsor. It is also possible through your employer. There is also the green card lottery option to win a green card. Also if you are married to a US citizen once you enter US you get the conditional status and after 2 years of successful marriage the status could be adjusted to permanent status through which the alien spouse gets a green card.
