How long does a green card take?

It varies enormously by category and country of birth — from roughly a year to well over a decade in backlogged categories.

Can I work on a student visa?

Usually only within defined limits such as on-campus employment or authorised practical training. Unauthorised work carries serious consequences.

Do I need an attorney?

Not always, but complex cases, prior refusals, or anything involving status violations strongly warrant licensed counsel.
