Hi Everyone,

Canadian Passport - 5 years - $90 - 2 weeks wait

US Marriage Certificate - N/A - $40 - 1 week wait

Green Card- 2 years - $1000+ - 3 months wait

Green Card - 10 years - $545 - 6 months to 1 year wait

US Naturalization/Citizenship Certificate - N/A - $670 - 6 months wait (3 yrs for citizenship based on marriage)

American Passport - 10 years - $100 (or $20) - 4 weeks wait

Enhanced Driver's License - 8 years - $30 - 2 weeks wait
