Questions! Please help! Thank you!

My husband is from Venezuela and we just applied for Adjustment of Status, and I have a couple of questions and I would really appreciate any help!

1) I sent in the following forms - I-130, I-485 (including I-864) and I-765. I sent them certified receipt and they received it on 5/16/09. How long will it take for them to issue me a reciept number?

2) My husband is here on a student Visa, the Visa is now expired but his I-20 is valid until 6/1/09. Will that cause any kind of problems? I am worried about it and I hope it won't!

3) Also do they approve the I-765 before the actual I-485 so that he can work before the AOS is actually approved?

4) How long does all of this business take?!?!? It seems like on here there are some real horror stories!

Thank you for any help, I am sure I might have more questions in the future!

What a great site!

Yes, that is the point of it the I-765.

Varies - week to months - usually shorter.

Should not be an issue.

Again varies, fill in your timeline and you can compare it with others.

Another question that I have is that his driver's license is about to expire too, on 6/1/09 - can he renew his driver's license with an expired Visa? What paperwork would he need to bring the DL office? Thank you!

Doubtful you can renew your license on an expired visa. Up to the state laws.
