me and my boyfriend are planning on getting married soon and we want to make sure we do everything right. He is in this country on a B-1/B-2 visa that expired about a year ago. What we want to know is how long after marriage should we wait to file? He has been told to wait atleast a month before filling but i dont see or understand how that would matter. Also i have read that we can apply for an EAD so he can work but i want to know if this is a document i can submit prior to filling or is it all done at the same time? I have also read that it can take a long time for someone to get there greencard,is there a standard time this normally takes if the person has a no underlining issues.
