How long does it take to get a green card after arriving on a K1 visa?

Adjustment of status commonly takes 7 to 9 months, with some cases taking longer due to field office workload. Most applicants receive a conditional two-year green card if married less than two years at the time of approval. This step finalizes the transition from K-1 to permanent residency.
