Legal Question in Immigration Law in Virginia

work permit

I am a permanent resident and my best friend has a tourist visa. When he came here we have decided to get married ( it was never our intention when he got his visitor visa that he will stay here- just things developed more then we were expected) can we do that and how long it will take to get his work permit?

Thank you.

If you are a US Citizen then there shouldn't be much trouble in filing for your husband to get his green card (which includes filing for employment). However, this is a matter you definitely want to discuss with an immigration attorney since there may be issues on when he files his paperwork. You are free to contact my office for a consultation if you would like to find out more.
