So my husband and I just got married. I need some clarification plz. He has received his SS card in the mail and I was under the impression that when he received that he could start work?! reading about this I-485 is says you can apply for a work permit until this is complete? what??? how long does this usually take? also if we plan on traveling back to visit soon. how does that work? can we or do we have to wait or apply for some other form? Thanks a lot .

You have to apply for AOS. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/307-applying-for-aos-in-the-usa/

He cannot work or travel without authorization card. The EAD/AP takes about 3 months to receive, and it is free when you file AOS.

congrats on your marriage....why haven't you updated your profile....we knew your paper work was in AP for quite some time so it would be nice if you update your profile so others that are in AP might have an idea of the time frame their paper work might stay in AP even though each person case is different.
