Employment authorization for spouse of permanent resident?

[khan 0]

Hello everybody,

I have a couple of questions. I have a 5 year multiple visit visa to USA.

Q1) Would I get an Employment Authorizaton Document (EAD) if I marry a permanent resident of USA during a visit?

Q2) If yes, approximately how much time does it normally take in this case, to get the EAD?

A quick response would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Khan.

One can apply for EAD only with I-485. Person married to PR can apply to adjust status (I-485) only when the immigrant visa number becomes current - in about 5 years from the initial petition I-130 or when the petitioner becomes USC.

No, you would not be eligible to file for EAD.
