You mean how long until you get your green card after you apply for adjustment of status (AOS)? Well you can apply for AOS after you are married and your green card will take about 6 months to arrive. Employment Authorization should come 60-90 after you apply for AOS.

Collie-- you probably know this, but at POE their passports get marked as a permanent resident. So even without the greencard, they have proof of permanent resident status for driving, working, and anything that would require a greencard. It just won't be handy in their wallet.

up to 6 months? Geeze! Things have changed since I came to the US. I think mine took maybe 3 weeks at the most.

Looks like they will be using their passports for quite some time! Thanks for the input :)
