Hi all,
I am currently a DACA recipient with my work permit set to expire later this year in December.
I also got married recently, my wife is a US citizen and I will be applying for my green card in the next few weeks.
In my experience with DACA, I usually apply about 5 months before I expire and my work permit comes in around 2-3 months before the expiration date.
My question is - if I apply now for my green card say within the next couple of weeks, how long does it usually take for USCIS to issue a work permit for an adjustment of status based on marriage? Should I apply through DACA as well just to be safe that I do get my work permit in order? I can't afford to stop working unfortunately, and do not want to have a lapse when my current work permit expires. Obviously I'd rather not have to spend the fees necessary, but if it means being safe with getting a work permit on time than I would rather do that.
