Can I work while my marriage-based green card application is pending?

You may be able to work after your I-765 work permit is approved. This will require you to file for a separate work visa to work while your green card is being approved.

In many cases, yes. Applicants who file Form I-485 may also apply for a work permit using Form I-765. Once approved, this allows legal employment in the U.S. while the marriage based green card application is still under review.
