What is the name of your state? Florida
Hi. My American boyfriend and I are getting married at the beginning of March, almost exactly 90 days before my OPT authorization expires. I want to be sure of the time line for the change of status process. As I understand it, we will need to file a whole bunch of documents immediately after the wedding.
Form I-765
Form I-130
Form I-485
Does the 90 days processing time for my new EAD card begin from the moment that paperwork is received, or do we have to wait for a marriage interview before the 90 day processing period starts? Either way, what is the typical wait for a marriage interview in Florida?
I have two additional questions about the EAD card.
1st: Does it carry a weekly limit of 40hrs a week like the OPT authorization?
2nd: Am I allowed to be self employed?
Thanks for your help
