Timeline
We got married on May 9. Right now our funds are severely depleted, especially with the wedding costs. Do we need to be in a huge hurry to file for AOS? I would like to wait until June or July. Also, would youall recommend having a local agent do all the paperwork?

Congratulations on your marriage (F) !

I don't think you have to hurry to file AOS. The later you file though, the later you'll get your EAD to be able to work and drive. I wish we filed a bit earlier to not have problems with getting a driver's license now :) .

You don't need to hire anyone to file the paperwork, either. It's super easy unless you have special circumstances!

Good luck!

Hello everyone. Just got an email from Cris to say my AOS has been transferred to CSC. I guess i don't have to worry about putting together an interview package.

Good luck to everyone else. I hope we April filers get more good news before the week runs out.

I don't think you have to hurry to file AOS. The later you file though, the later you'll get your EAD to be able to work and drive. I wish we filed a bit earlier to not have problems with getting a driver's license now :) .

Congratulations guys!!!

Like Maria said, it's pretty straight forward unless you're the odd one out, like me :)

My husband and I travel a lot, so we chose to get an attorney back when we filed I-129F. He gave us a good discount as returning customers for AOS so we decided to stick with him. Saves us a lot of hassle really, so if you decide to turn to a lawyer's services I could give you a name. He doesn't charge as much as most do and you always deal with him directly.

No real hurry to file, your status is protected as you're now married. I filed 3 months after the wedding. The only bad thing for us was the longer we were putting it off the longer I have to wait on my EAD and sit around with no 2nd income.

i checked my case online this morning and it was down, but i just checked it and it is back up again.

no touches or anything for me today.

quick question, i noticed that a lot of k-1ers get transferred to CSC.

i am a k-3er...how likely is it that i will get transferred there as well?

as far as i can tell, if you get transferred to CSC you pretty much get approved without an interview, correct?
