If your Sponsor is military it takes an average of about a month and a couple days, if not its 90 days from the time you file.. Sometimes its earlier sometimes it later..

My work authorization card was done 73 days after I filed. My interview was scheduled 110 days after filing. So average time for everything is about 3.5 months and for your EAD about 2.5 months but every case is different. It may take less or more time. Nobody knows :/

Most people get work authorization ("EAD") within 90 days of filing and many quicker than that (60 something days for us). As for getting the green card, who knows... It's all over the map and depends mainly on whether or not you have an interview. Some seem to have it processed fairly quickly and others wait wait wait.
