If the other party has U.S. citizenship, it will be quicker, but if the other party is not an American, it usually takes 8 years.
However, if it is early, it takes about 1.5 to 2 years to enter the country.
The lottery pattern falls into this category, but we often see people taking a fair amount of time for the marriage pattern.
Well, it depends on the person, so there is no standard.
If you don't have a bad background, it will go well, so please be patient.
If you have a bad background, it is better to use a lawyer.

It is honestly better to consult a local immigration lawyer who is strong in that state than a Japanese lawyer. Immigration lawyers have different things to say, but it is still better to consult a local lawyer who is strong in the area. From the experience of various people.

There are many women whose partners have US citizenship, get married internationally, and then overstay their welcome and stay in the US until they apply locally and are granted permanent residency.
Once they are officially granted, they are free to go.

Hawaii has one of the strictest immigration systems in the U.S., and there are many cases where people who had no problems before are suddenly stopped and left in history if they come during the training period of new customs officers or during the period of change. It is okay if you are sent to a different room, as long as you are not forced to leave the country.
As you may know, be careful, especially if you are a woman traveling alone.
If ESTA is not available, you will not be able to enter the U.S. without a tourist VISA, which costs more than 16,000 yen each time in Japan, as in non-ESTA countries, and this record is usually not restored until about 5.5 years.
Laws in the U.S. can change quickly, especially depending on the administration, so it is necessary to constantly look up information.

How long did it take you to get your green card ？
I know it varies from case to case.
If you are married to an American citizen, I would appreciate it if you could give me some information.

My husband's friend （ a US citizen ） married a Mexican and applied for GC, it took her less than 10 years to get it
because she had overstayed once. （ It took me a little less than a month to get it ）
It took me and my husband （ a US citizen ） more than 20 years ago, so it is really very different from now.
I was a little nervous because I thought it would take a little longer, but once the GC is granted, I have to enter the U.S.
within 6 months.

By the way, the interview was at the embassy in Japan, and the woman I was with at the time told me that it took about 4 months to get an interview for her
application for marriage to a GC holder.
