I am a legal resident and my boyfriend a tourist visa for US. We have decided to get married in US- how long it would take for him to receive his work permit and green card.

Thank you.

Re: immigration

Better be careful; your boyfriend could be charged with immigration fraud if the USCIS became convinced that he applied for a tourist visa with the intention of getting married in the States and then applying for permanent residency(green card).

To be safe, he should return to his country and await your naturalization

as a U.S. citizen whereupon you could then immediately apply for a K-1 fiance visa for him to come to the U.S.

in order to marry you who would then sponsor him for his green card and his work authorization permit.
