K-3 is a VISA (e.g. it would be the permission for your husband to enter the country legally). You already filed and used the K-1 VISA for your hubby to enter legally as a fiance. Now after marriage, he must adjust status to become a permanent resident (and get a "green card"). That is the "AOS" we're talking about here. Yes, it's $1010 filing fee, I'm afraid. And I wouldn't bother trying for a fee waiver... Been there, tried that. Do a cash advance on your credit card if you have to; at least you finally found a joint sponsor.

From what I recall, I think only 1 year of tax returns is required, the employment letter (stating income, hiring date, and continued employment), and the affidavit I-864 (each of these for both you and your sponsor). I would add additional tax returns if there's some inconsistencies (dips) in income and your prior returns can show more.

Good luck, Meri.

I sent three years worth, as a friend of mine from Auckland sent only the one years, as requested, and got an rfe for the other years. Even though they don't ask for it initially. I decided on a take no prisoners approach and sent the lot right away.

Cham..here is a link to the AOS guide here on Visa Journey. After he has arrived here and you get married he applies for AOS, adjustment of status, and he gets the 2 year green card. Once you have that, and before it expires you apply to lift conditions and receive the 10 year green card.

Have a look at the link, it's all there.

Congrats on the co-sponsors, jobs and green cards

Jeremy received 2 contacts for jobs yesterday so I'm feeling pretty good. Not quite interviews but requests for more information on his background and tests of his IT knowledge so hoping for the best...

QUESTION

how long is the sponsor and co sponsor responsible for the immigrant is it 2 years or 10.....one minute i here 2 one minute 10...sigh

[Corinthians 7]

how long is the sponsor and co sponsor responsible for the immigrant is it 2 years or 10.....one minute i here 2 one minute 10...sigh

I think it is until the immigrant has 40 quarters of work under their belt.

40 qtrs of work or becomes a citizen. I think the spouse's work counts, too.
