The most important thing is to try to time your marriage to occur as soon as possible after your arrival into the US. This is because you cannot apply for your work permit until the marriage has taken place. Aliens don’t like sitting around for months on end; they want to be able to work as quickly as possible. So, delaying the application will only add to delays after the wedding. Additionally, the work authorization stamped into the alien’s passport will cover the alien for up to 90-days and work permits typically tend to take 45-90-days to arrive.
