I am in the process of filing for I140 and AOS. I am curious once I get my green card, how long will it take for my spouse to get his working visa. I will not be married until next year so I will not be able to have him file at the same time. My soon to be spouse from Canada will need to get a working visa. What does the process look like an how long does this usually take to get a working visa.

    Yes but he does not fit any of the work categories
    He is in software sales. We have already gone through this option. I'd like to know how long it would take for my spouse to start working once I get my green card.

      OP, I think it takes about 6 months it used to be faster (a few months). My spouse is also Canadian.

  • 6 months to get EAD (USCIS estimate as of August), if you file EAD with your i485

    Get married , apply for his gc .. move with him to Canada and come back once gc is approved? Also have a apt or something as address where you will get the Uscis mails . You will get notified by your attorney if some docs needed . Again it’s personal op , pls chk with an attorney fir best options

    Yeah unfortunately we are getting married next year. Do u know how long it'll take me to get my green card after filing my i140 and AOS. I am filing it in October . I am just curious about the work visa. I don't think he would be very happy waiting for 27 months just to work and us being separated.
