Legal Question in Immigration Law in Maryland

Hi.

My boyfriend is a permanent resident and we are planning on getting married in the spring. I would like to know what the current waiting time is for the F2 category. Would it be better for me to wait in the US or abroad? Can I apply for an EAD while I wait for the green card application to be processed?

Additional information: I am originally from Argentina and I have lived in the US for the last 8 years. I am on a G4 visa, as a dependent of my father, that expires in October 2012.

Thank you!

The current wait time to get a green card through your permanent resident spouse is approximately 4 years. You can wait in the U.S. so long as you are in status. Is your boyfriend eligible to become a U.S. Citizen soon? If so, it might be worth waiting for him to do so and then applying for your permanent residence. Please feel free to contact me at 415-273-9123 or [email protected] to discuss this matter further.
