    Adjustment of status for the one who married a greencard holder takes approx 5-6 years, and you won't get any benefit such as getting work permit or SSN during this waiting period, unlike married to US citizen. If your husband is a US citizen, the process takes around 6-8 months.

    The best choice for you is to maintain H1-B and if possible, obtain greencard from this H1-B if your employer is willing to sponsor you.
