More details to this question:
My boyfriend and I are planning to get married soon. when his family brought him to the U.S. they came in with a visa. He currently has a work permit because of the dream act. when we get married, about how long will the whole process to fix him papers take? He wants to join the Marines, will that help?
In looking at present processing time charts of the U.S.C.I.S. field offices, Seattle is running about 8 months to an interview and Spokane 6 months. If the case is approved at the time of the interview, your husband could receive temporary proof of residence status, and the conditional green card would likely follow within 30-60 days. I do not believe that the immigration office will expedite an interview to allow him to join the Marines quicker.
