What to do if I applied a greencard based on marriage to a US citizen 1 year ago but it has been 15 months and there has been no decision on her case?

My husband has a criminal record but my l do not. There has been no update whatsoever on whether they will approve or deny this case. I applied for a work authorization extension and and it was approved. Is that a good or bad sign?

It's neither a good or a bad sign - it simply means that your case is still pending. You mentioned that our husband had a criminal case - this would only matter if it was for a sex crime or domestic battery. When was his case done and what was it for? Did you go through the interview yet? Reply to [email protected]
