I am married to a Japanese green card holder and am in the process of applying for permanent residency, it will be 2 years in March.
I have searched the internet, and now I am waiting for the notification of my speech and medical examination. I am waiting to hear back from anyone who is also applying, has taken permanent residence, or has recently given a speech, or any other information you can give me.
I know it is different for everyone, but I would like to know even approximately how long it will take.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I am getting married to a permanent resident, can I live in the U.S. with him or her while I apply for a green card ?
A : It would be natural to expect that you could live together after marriage. Unfortunately, the U.S. government makes it very difficult for a green card holder to live in the United States with a spouse who does not have a green card or is not a U.S. citizen.
Did you know that spouses of permanent residents who applied for a green card in September 2001 have finally qualified recently ?
Hundreds of thousands of aliens are waiting for green card approval in this category ( of permanent residents spouses and unmarried children under the age of 21 ), only 88,000 are approved annually, and no one will be surprised if the waiting list continues to grow and grow. If there is any discussion in Congress in December regarding immigration reform, we hope that this quota will increase.
Q : Can I stay in the US on a tourist or student visa while I am applying for permanent residence in support of my husband ?
A tourist or student visa is usually not approved for a spouse who is applying for permanent residence. For legitimate reasons, these visas are called nonimmigrant visas and require a "no intent to reside" and an intention to return to their home country eventually after a short stay. Since the spouse of a permanent resident applicant has the intent to reside in the U.S., the U.S. Embassy finds it difficult to legally approve visas ( tourist and student visas ) for these individuals.
Even in countries such as Japan, where visas are not required for short stays of 90 days or less, people who use these visas to travel back and forth more than necessary risk immediate deportation at the airport each time they enter the US. Furthermore, if these people are engaged or married to citizenship or permanent resident holders, they are more likely to be noticed by immigration officials and denied entry into the United States.
According to my lawyer, it could be anywhere from 5 to 15 years.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I think your partner is a citizen or will take citizenship because this waiting time is not worth it.
I have met many Japanese people in Hawaii and California who have won green cards and are living there.
They say the odds of winning are better than winning the lottery.
If your partner doesn't get citizenship, you might make better use of your time if you wait while applying for a green card.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

At the moment, it takes about 8 years in this case.
If you go back and forth between Hawaii and Japan on ESTA, you will be at a disadvantage
You will have to wait in Japan.
It is best to let your husband get his citizenship while you still can.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I myself married a permanent resident more than 10 years ago,
following the same pattern as Aoi, and applied for a green card.
I went back and forth between Hawaii and Japan and got pregnant, but my lawyer told me to wait in Japan instead of entering the US.
After the birth, I could not come to Hawaii and my husband came to Japan to see me every 6 months for 4 years and it took me 6 years to get my green card.
I heard that some people who are married to Citizen now take more than 2 years to get a green card, so I think you should be prepared for 6 years.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

I think they are trying
to see if they can keep their marriage going after 6+ years of long distance.
In fact, I think many couples have been givens.
Investor Visa would be the fastest way.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Over 10 years ago, I married a Japanese permanent resident in Hawaii and
applied for a green card through a Hawaii attorney.
During the application process, I visited Hawaii a couple of times with my husband on a tourist visa.
I was not stopped at any point when I entered the country and I got my green card 3 years after I applied.
Reading your posts, especially # 2's post and others, I now wonder ? if my actions were dangerous.
but that there are cases like this.I don't know what the current situation is, but I am surprised that they are trying to see if the marriage can continue. It could simply be that it's an American thing and the paperwork is slow. At the time I was there, I was told that some people take 10 years to get married, but that there are cases where it only took 3 years. Please be hopeful and survive your long distance marriage.
