Hello Everyone!

Our wedding is coming up soon. However, we have a lot of questions regarding the following:

1) What are the next steps/procedure/process we need to do after marrying here in USA. Right now, I still have my K1 visa.

2) What are the paperworks/documents needing to be prepared, done, submitted? Where will we submit/forward these documents?

3) After wedding, how long can I start working/finding a job? Is it allowed that I start right away?

Looking forward to your help regarding these matters.

God bless us all

Distance doesn't matter if you really love the person, what matters most is your honesty and trust for that relationship to work out. We may not get to see as often as we like, we may not get to hold each other in arms all through the night. But deep in our heart we truly know, we are meant for each other, the one to spend our life with forever!

Congrats on the upcoming wedding! After you're married, you will need to apply for your green card and if you want to work and travel before you get that, you need to apply for your EAD (temp work permit) and AP (permission to re-enter the US). There are guides posted here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...mp;page=k1k3aos

After the wedding you cannot start working until you receive either your EAD or green card. EAD usually runs about 3 months after filing to get. You can start looking though :)

The person who posted above me added a great link to the guide to Adjust Status (AOS).

Here's a link to getting a SSN... if you're going to do that. Do it before you get married (if you do).
