another interesting tidbit from the forum:

How long it takes to get your greencard if married to a Us citizen ?Thanks

Dr. Emilio González

One of the most common ways people immigrate is based on a relationship to a U.S. citizen. If your U.S. citizen husband or wife wants to help you immigrate, he/she would start the process by filing a Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative. This form is available on our website at uscis.gov.

If you are already in the U.S., entered legally, and meet certain other requirements, you may be able to file an I-485 application for permanent residence at the same time your husband or wife files the I-130 relative petition for you. This is called adjustment of status. Otherwise the Department of State will invite you to apply for an immigrant visa shortly after we approve the petition. In some cases, the petition itself can be filed directly at the U.S. Consulate.

Now, in terms of how long this takes. That depends on whether you are here and apply for adjustment of status, or apply for an immigrant visa after your husband or wife files the relative petition.

If you file both together, you can check our website for current processing times for the I-485 adjustment application to get a sense of the average processing time at the office at which your case will be processed. We have an office in Columbus, Ohio, where you indicated you live. Right now that office is completing applications for adjustment of status within our 6 month goal processing time.

If you will apply for an immigrant visa, our goal is to have the relative petition processed and to the Department of State within 6 months.

I don't know if this guy really cares. The job just pays the bills for him. Half of these questions can be answered on the website. Are the praises from his staff? He came over when he was nine. Did his parents come over legally? If they did, he would have been illegal before they naturalized. What a waste.
