Citizenship?

i am a canadian citizen who is married to an american, ive been married for two years now, after how long should the immigration send me my work papers, i have to get a job and start my life with my family

Answer:
You need to have your wife petition for your US citizenship so that you can work legally in the US. The US Government doesn't monitor marriages to see to whom they should send applications.

Once you've completed the petition, a work permit can be obtained relatively quickly (2 to 3 months or so), but citizenship takes considerably longer.
Spouse - If you are an American citizen you have two ways to bring your foreign spouse (husband or wife) to the United States to live. They are:

* Immigrant visa for a Spouse of a U.S. Citizen (IR1 or CR1) - An immigrant Petition for Alien Relative, Form I-130 is required.

* Nonimmigrant visa for spouse (K-3) - It is important to note that application for the nonimmigrant visa for spouse (K-3) who married a U.S. citizen must be filed and the visa must be issued in the country where the marriage took place. After the visa process has been completed, and the visa is issued, the spouse can travel to the United States to wait for the processing of the immigrant visa case.

* Two petitions are required:
o Petition for Alien Relative, Form 1-130; and
o Petition for Alien Fiancé(e), Form I-129F

Fiancé(e) - If you are an American citizen, you may bring your fiancé(e) to the United States to marry and live here.

* Nonimmigrant visa for fiancé(e) (K-1) - To travel to the United States for marriage. An
I-129F fiancé(e) petition is required.
Just curious, why dont you and your wife stay in Canada?
How did you get here? Did you file for a K-1 (fiance) or K-3 visa.
Once you have that you can file already immediately for a green card, the I-485 form, so start processing that.
