My husband is currently holding an H1B visa, and we are planning to start our green card application process, wondering how long does it usually take?

Also, I'm holding an H4 visa, hoping to work in the States legally, so on which stage of green card applying process, I could start my I765 Form application, and how long does it usually take?




The answer to your first question depends on the green card path he will be taking and his country of nationality. Regarding your section question, once the I-140 petition for your husband is approved, you can apply for a work card and the process right now is taking about 3 months.


Hi Peter,

Just wanted to say here that in my experience this is now taking much longer than 3 months. Mine is currently approaching 4 months, and I have colleagues that have been waiting for over 5 months.
