hello vjs,i have a good friend who is on a student visa here in US for 2 years now,but now she wants to get married to her fiance who is a green card holder.after getting married how long will it take her to get her green card.

thanks all

Shouldn't take long, these days average processing for AOS from another visa, like the F-1 your friend has takes about 4 - 5 months to get the conditional green card (since she is married less then 5 years at time of application).

There is no visa immediately available for a spouse of a green card holder. The LPR would file the I-130 and when a green card becomes available (and your friend's student visa is still valid) they would file the I-485. When will the LPR become an USC? If they file for AOS after he is an USC, then there is a visa immediately available. If they waited until he was an USC, then they would file I-130 and I-485 together. Also, they can file the I-130 after they get married, and if he becomes an USC before the I-130 is approved they can always upgrade it to spouse of USC. That's my suggestion if it is going to be a while before he is USC.

Katgirl is correct. My lawyer explained this to me because my wife who is the sponsor and I the beneficiary was kind of in the same situation. But we waited for her to become a USC first then we filed for the I-485 and I-130.
