It will take about three months for the work permit and social security number to come out, then another three months are needed for the actual green card. In other words, it will take total of 6months or even less as long as your application and the documents are correct and everything is perfectly prepared and sent to the USCIS. It is very important that you send every document correct and flawless. Then, less than 6months is guaranteed.
If you are marriage to an American citizen, as long as you have submit your application to change your stutas, you will bacome an green card holder within 18 months and you will become a citizen within 5 years. This is a longer process of the estimates, it usually takes 10 months for a green card and 36 months by law to get your citizenship. However, after the 911, the government takes a lot longer to process everyone paper work.
It could take years INS Laws are always changing and it also depends on how they enteredthe country. and if they have ever been in trouble with the law for any thing.or if they are intiled to a waiver. but waivers are not all ways much help they can still be deported.keep copies of all paper work, money orders,letters I mean everything.when you go to INS you may want a lawyer.remember INS are not working for you they work against you.they lose paper work all the time, trust me! I know and then you have to pay for refiling. INS has the right to post pone as long as they want, and there is nothing you can do about that.be prepared it a long and stressful system.If your not a member of a church then become a member. do valunteer work for your community,do whatever you can to make you a good asset to stay here.It's not over till it's over.

You can't. People who enter the US illegally are not eligible for obtaining legal status of any type even if they marry a US citizen. They must voluntarily leave the US or when apprehended they are detained and appear at a deportation hearing, if there are no mitigating circumstances they are deported to their country of origin. Persons illegally within the US for less than 12 months cannot apply for reentry for three years. Persons who are illegally within the US for more than 12 months are banned from applying for reentry for 10 years. The illegal immigrant can also be permanently banned from applying for reentry depending upon specific circumstances. Exceptions are sometimes made if the person qualifies under the Immigration guidelines for being an asylee or a refugee.
2 months and 900000000000000 years

Yes They Can
No, an illegal immigrant could never change status to a citizen, he would have to become a legal permanent resident first (LPR). But in any case, just making $10k/month wont allow an illegal immigrant to become a LPR
