    Not enough information. What did they file 4 months ago? What EB preference category?

    If they started the permanent residency process through labor certification (EB-3 for most H-1B's) for him 4 months ago, that usually takes about 6-8 months for approval. The I-140 takes about 6 months, and the current backlog for most countries is December 2005, and it takes 3 months after filing to get your EAD as a dependent spouse.

    So, about 7-8 years from the date they start.
