I just recently applied for a green card by marriage through an attorney.
For those who have applied for a green card by marriage in recent years, how long did it take to get the work permit, travel permit, etc. ？
I am currently on OPT, but am concerned because it expires on 2/29.

Thank you for your answer. Yes, you are correct. Of course I have already informed my attorney of the approximate expected time frame, but I wanted to post this to ask about the experiences of those who have actually recently applied for a green card themselves. Sorry for the lack of words.

I joined the family in the summer of 2022, received my marriage certificate and immediately started the application process.
Eleven months later, my green card and work permit arrived at my house at the same time.
We were also supposed to receive our travel permits after fingerprinting, but we still have not received them.
We were also asked for additional documents due to incomplete paperwork （ That was a mistake on their part and there was no incomplete paperwork, but our lawyer provided us with documents to that effect ） so the process stopped there for about 2 months.
If nothing like that happened, we could get it within 6 months to a year ？.

It reminded me of a TV documentary about a Filipino woman who married a balding old man in Japan for a Japanese visa, even though they didn't speak the same language, and got divorced a few years later after the visa was confirmed.

We were US citizens ourselves and the wife's was F1.
We joined last March and applied straight away and finally received our EAD card and AP in November.

By the way, I got the interview notice right after that. I finished the interview last week and now I am waiting for the result.
Later we didn't go through a lawyer, so I hope it comes soon for Topi's side.
