I got my wife to US from India in December of 2006 with K3 visa but did not do anything else since. I thought I 130 getting approved was the next step.. Now I got 2 more weeks before the visa expires, did I mess up? Was I supposed to file I485? What is my next step?

ANY ADVICE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Thanks

Tom

yes, file the I-485 pronto!!!!

will it be too late now since she only has less than 2 months to go?

No.... she still has status as a K-3. File it while the status is curent... all is still OK... It is not a problem if her status expires after filing....

THANKS A MILLION FOR THE REPLIES>>>

Since she works, should I apply for EAD extension too? or will the NOA allow her to work too?

EAD card is totally separate issue... If it will expire, you can and should file for a renewal ....

The EAD renewal ought to be free if filed with a I-485.

On the positive side, since you waited so long, your wife will qualify for a 10 year green card rather than a 2 year conditional one. The I-485 application plus accompanying forms should then be the last time you ever have to deal with USCIS!

as because you waited so long she'll have to have another medical exam done in the US and I believe that has to be done and submitted WITH the I-485 for adjustment of status. Its going to cost you quite a lot.

divorced - April 2010 moved back to Ontario May 2010 and surrendered green card

PLEASE DO NOT PRIVATE MESSAGE ME OR EMAIL ME. I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT CURRENT US IMMIGRATION PROCEDURES!!!!!

First, you said you did nothing after she arrived on the K3, then you ask about her EAD. You must have filed for EAD. Yes, you'll need to file to extend that. She may lose her legal status to work before it's renewed.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...
Understanding the big picture is priceless. Anonymous
