It's time to adjust your status. Is your husband a US citizen?

Dear Sir/Madam: It depends on whether your husband is a permanent resident or U.S. citizen. Spouses of permanent residents go on a wait list. If that is your situation you must wait to be current. If you are the spouse of a U.S. citizen, you are eligible to apply for residence.

If your husband is a US citizen you can file adjustment application for your green card. If he is not a citizen then you have to keep your F1 status and wait for visa number to be available to file the adjustment application.

If you have not violated your student visa conditions, you may apply for adjustment of status assuming that your husband is a US citizen, otherwise, you will have to keep your F visa current until the priority date becomes available.

File for adjustment. It takes about 4 months from filing to interview day. Most people are approved at the interview day. Good luck.

It depends on if your husband is a US citizen. If yes you can file I-485 to adjust your status. If not, you will have to wait for the visa number to become current(about 3 years).

What is your husband's status? If he is a US citizen, you should have filed the I-485 adjustment of status concurrently with the I-130. If he is a permanent resident, then you need to wait for your priority date to be current, then you file your I-485.
