Can someone out of status apply for a work permit after marrying a green card holder?
I’m currently working while out of status. I’d like to know whether I can get a work card if I marry a green card holder.
Does the green card application need to already be filed for this to be possible?
Simply being married is not enough if you are out of status. You need to file for a marriage-based green card, and then work authorization (EAD) and an SSN follow in the proper sequence as the case progresses.
