EAD and Green Card

[kate1982]

Hi! I am presently on H4.My husband is going to file for a Green card for both of us soon.Can any one tell me how long it would take me to get an EAD after filing for it?

depends on which country you are from and which category he files the green card under. e.g. if you are an indian and file under EB3, it would take around 9 years to get your green card.

We are both Indians.I am a doctor.I need to start my residency in July 2007 on J!.As I have heard that once I take up J1 I cannot apply for a green card,I wondered if if I could get an EAD in time for my residency provided I file now.
