My husband is in the same situation as you.   He is still waiting for his interview  and has been fingerprinted.   He has not even gotten his work permit yet.  He is bored also sitting  at home.   I tell him that it is just a process and soon you will get it.  You can go online to www.USCIS.gov to check the status of your case by the receipt number.

Green card as a result of marriage ... I think that takes about 5-7 years.

I am an American citizen who married a non-citizen.  If you are seriously considering having your fiancee immigrate to America, get an attourney who specializes in Immigration.  It may be expensive, but I cannot emphasize how easy and stress-free the process becomes.  Just walking into the INS interview with our attourney was like a stamp of approval; the INS knows the attourney has helped us prepare everything the INS needs, and no honest attourney would risk his job by taking on a client who wasn't earnest.

The current wait time for spouses of green card holders to get their permanent residency is 4-5 years.\n\nThis is because the senate approves only a limited amount of visas be give to spouses of green card holders and over the years a huge backlog was created.\n\nIf I were you I'd just wait until I'd get my US citizenship and then sponsor my spouse. There is no quota for spouses of US citizens.\n\nSince your spouse is Canadian, he/she can come in the US under a TN status so it's no that critical

You may not do this as a permanent resident -- only as a U.S. citizen. The only thing you can do now (should you get married) is apply for an immigrant visa for him and then wait several years. In the meantime, he would not be able to come here, nor obtain work authorization.\n\nThe fastest way for him to get here is either (1) you naturalize and petition for a spouse's visa for him which would allow him to come here, get a work authorization, and apply for his green card, or (2) he immigrates on his own accord.\n\nGood luck!

You can apply for your green card as soon as you have a marraige certificate.\n\nThen you need to do both of the following:\n\n1. Your wife will need to submit a visa petition for you \n2. You need to file for adjustment of status from immigrant to non-immigrant.\n\nYou should definitely consider hiring an immigration attorney to handle your case.  You can find some on the web that have very low fees.

Nope - you're required to support him and must prove you have over a certain level of income to do that.  Sounds like you're not marrying for love, just a green card.  Be aware that the government will find out - the interview is very hard and those guys will spring questions on you you'd never expect.

The current wait time for a visa availability under category 2A (spouses and children (under 21) of green card holders) is approximately 4 years.\n\nSee the April 2006 State Department bulletin:\nhttp://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_2847.html\n\nIf you are eligible for US citizenship in the next 2-3 years it may be faster to just wait and sponsor him/her after you become a US citizen.\n\nMeanwhile, you can explore other non-immigrant options (i.e. work study) to bring your spouse in the US but it'll be difficult.

You asked this question as "Monsoon05" and also as "Jk" - so you are still pretty good at lying and playing games with the system.  Do you think the answer will change?\n\nWhen people write to complain that they can't get a visa to come to the US, or there are long delays in their cases, it is because of people like you who have intentionally lied to get some sort of immigration benefit from the US government.\n\nYou lied that you were not married so it would be easier to get an H1b visa, then you bought a fraudulent marriage certificate to support your claim, then you applied for your wife to come to the US and now she is leaving you and you are afraid of your past deeds - good! You are an example of everything that is wrong with our immigration system - the loop holes and technicalities that are exploited by citizens of other countries, who then enter the US and lie again to get other benefits to which they are not entitled, then cheat on their taxes, so that someone else is paying for everything. In this case, I hope for nothing more, or less, than karma.

As long as he is amerincan citizen it could be quite easy, before getting married you/lawyer/other expert need to request a fiance visa, once you receive it you have around 3 months to marry him and later on you will be receiving your green card. Every other way will take longer. You can search on yahoo for more information about fiance visa.

you won't be an american citizen.  If you marry outside the US your husband who is american would have to come back to the US and file paperwork to get you a visa to come here.  The process takes about a year, then when your here you have to file additional paperwork to become a citizen, that process depending on the state you live in can take from 2 to 5 years. It a long process been thorugh it with my husband from Ecuador, but if you really love the man it's worth it.

He needs to fill out a petition for Adjusment of Status (Form I-485). Which is basically the greencard. Since you are the U.S. citizen you will be his sponsor, that means you need to fill out Form I-130.\nYes, after you get approved for his Adjustment of Staus (Green Card) you might have to go to one of the uscis offices and get interviewed. They do interviews so they can make sure you got married because you want to be together and not so he can have a Green Card. Well, you know what i mean.\nYou can find more informaion about what else you might need to file for on http://www.uscis.gov\nMost of the forms you can find here: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD\n\nHope i helped.
