I thought if you married someone they get a green card?
It takes years even if you're legal. If you've committed any kind of crime, including working or being here illegally without a visa, you'll get denied
From my personal experience, working is not necessarily an issue. As our lawyer put it, "everyone works, so don't stress about that". The things they seemed mostly concerned about were whether or not you entered the country legally, if you've overstayed your visa for reasons that would exclude you, and issues with the law.
Some methods of entering the country are harder than others when it comes to the approval process, such as tourist visas.
Sometimes the process takes years. Sometimes decades.
Took my ex something like 5 years and it was a pain in the aaaasssss.
At this point, I don't think having a green card matters anymore.
That's one path to it, but it's not nearly that simple.
