Why be such a dick, D1? If you can’t answer the question just scroll by - why go out of your way to be nasty to someone? Not to mention you are insulting OP’s marriage by your insinuations.

like

OP, EAD should be 2-4 months. Appointment is the longest wait, and as EY1 mentioned , it’s based on your local office. After that , Card is 2 weeks

Agree with D2, D1 don’t be a dick.

Not D1's fault .. usually people in D are that much obnoxious.. they r usually groomed to be the biggest ass holes in this industry.
OP I have no idea about this process but congrats on your marriage. There will be haters.

Can anyone walk me through the process? Sorry too many questions:

What happens after you file a family based petition for spouse? Do you get to apply for Adjustment of Status immediately? Also what if I had an employment based petition as well - what is treated as the priority date - 1) when family or spouse filed for petition or 2) employment priority date or 3) earlier of the two?
Also Can you work without restrictions on EAD?

like

EAD / AP is about 90 days. Interview date depends on your local office case load. Used to take 6-7 months but now it takes about 12-15 all in.

P1: you can check with Swagat USA firm. They specialize in immigration but not sure about GC process situation like yours

P2 speaks the truth. OP I am a citizen and married GC holder but five years back. It took us about 3-4 months from filing to get appointment.

Times are slower now. EAD is quick 3-4months. Interview is now 14-16 months and then you get a conditional card if you have not been married for 2 years. Another 14 months for conditions to be removed and 10-12 months for citizenship, if that’s what you want. Overall, factor in 5 years from first application (if you are applying immediately after marriage) to citizenship.

D3: Which application center did you send to because 14-16 months for interview seems excessive. For my application center it is like 5 months.
