Re: How long does the process take?

It takes about three months for the work permit and about six months for the whole process. It takes one to two months for a travel permit if you qualify for that (no unlawful presence).

Re: How long does the process take?

It generally takes approx. 2-3 months to obtain an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) once the petition and all applications are properly filed. If you receive a Request for Additional Evidence (RFE), the process could be delayed. It is strongly recommended that you use competent immigration counsel to represent you in the process so as to insure that the petition and applications are properly completed and submitted with the proper supporting documents.

Our immigration is national in scope and we would be happy to assist you and your spouse in the process.

Processing times and interview dates vary depending on the jurisdiction in which you reside. Processing times may be found at:
