My husband has his F-1 OPT visa (he’s been here 8 years already - he’s 23). We got married three months ago - I’m a US citizen. We are so confused about the process, but we want to do it ourselves because our case seems simple. please help if you can!! 
 

1) What are all the forms we need? 
2) Is there anything else we need? 
3) He wants to work asap as well - is that a separate form? 
 

thanks in advance!

1. Detailed in the guides above

 

2, A Joint Sponsor maybe?

 

3. Yes he files for a EAD

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

If your husband on OPT, doesn't he have EAD based on that?

 

There's many forms to file:

 

- I-130

- I-130A

- I-485

- I-864

- I-693

- I-765 (for work authorization, optional but highly recommended)

- I-131 (for international travel, optional but highly recommended)

 

Check out the guide for full details.

If you file everything today, it will be 3-9 months until he's able to work due to receiving EAD / GC. Sometimes it takes more than a year.
