Work While Waiting for I-130

[amcgrail 0]

My husband is waiting for his I-130 approval.

Right now he already has an employer waiting for him to get his green card so he can begin working.

My question is, is there any way for him to be able to come to the states and begin working while his I-130 is being processed?

We only have 30-45 days left until we hear our approval (I talked to my states congresswoman and she got in touch with our agent)

Or, is there an option to expedite the process even though we've already sent the I-130 in? Our families are considering hiring a lawyer just for this final phase if it would be efficient in speeding up the process.

Any info would be appreciated!

Thanks!

A lawyer will not speed up the process. In fact many times it slows it down.

Sorry I can not confidently answer you're main question but I think the answer is no.

NO,he can't come here and work, when his 1-130 petition married cr-1 visa he will get a green card, then he can work if approved the green card stamped in his passport good for one year, until his permanent resident card arrives,question did the employer petition for him or did you petition for your husban,
