Until her priority date becomes current, which can be several years.
Hi brothers and sisters,i am green card holder through dv lottery,my fiance is a British citizen,we have a plan of getting married here in USA,but i am concerned about for how long will she have to wait before getting a her work permit?
Thanks in advance
She can't stay in the U.S. to await a visa becoming available, she would have to either get a work authorized nonimmigrant visa on her own or wait abroad.
As an LPR, you can get a re-entry permit and spend a good deal of time abroad with her and not loose your greencard just due to being abroad for long periods, if you have a re-entrty permit, but can you afford to do that?
IF you are a rather new arrival, perhaps you don't have deep roots here yet? ON THE OTHER HAND, what you do abroad for a long time could jeopardize your greencard. Has she got a good job in the UK so she could support you?
Thank you guys,the situation seems a bit complicated since i am new arrival in USA,and how hard to get work authorized non immigrant visa?she has a degree in Criminology and masters degree in Business administration,does the abroad work experience matters in USA?
Thanks in advance
