More details to this question:
Since September 2006 my husband filed for my papers, he is a green card holder. In March 2010 it was approved but I haven't heard or gotten anything else since that. Could you say why you think it is taking so long?

If you want to fast track your case, then your husband needs to apply for his US naturalization.

Where are you at the moment, in or out of the U.S.? The application is current. If you are in the U.S. you have to be here legally or otherwise legible for adjustment if status. You husband should apply for citizenship. I have been practicing for over 15 years. Our immigration law firm has been in the immigration field for more than 45 years. We have handled cases with experience, integrity, and good effect.

It takes many years to be able to file for an actual green card through a USC husband. That is because there is a quota where they only allow a certain amount of people to file each year. Go to my website and click on visa bulletin. Open the most recent bulletin and scroll to the family chart. Find your box. When your I-130 filing date shows up there, you can file for your green card.
