Hello friends, I am trying to help out a friend here. Your suggestions will be appreciated and I can forward those to her. She is a student on F-1 visa and is planning to marry a guy who is a US permanent resident (GreenCard holder). She wants to know the following: 1. How long will it take her to get a work permit once she marries him? She has 2 more yrs to complete her education and wants to be able to get her work permit before finishing so she's able to work. 2. Will she have to change her visa type from F-1 to something else upon marriage? 3. How long will it take for her to get her permanent residency (greencard)?
