Congratulations on your K1 approval.... if you go to the guides at the top there is all the information about filing for AOS from K1...

You are unlikely to be able to file the day after your wedding as you will need to have a certified copy of your marriage certificate and that takes anything from 3 days to 2 weeks....

Good luck with your wedding...

Thanks Kezzie, I appreciate your reply. It is like starting all over a new process after so much paperwork for K-1.

I don't know why you keep posting that info. It makes people think they have to wait 3 months from when they marry. As we all know, that is not the case.

Kezzie

Thanks for the info. I then guess that my Immigration atty. was wrong when he said this and waited 3 mos. after my marriage to submit my immigrant ex-wife's AOS paperwork. Since he obviously doesn't know what he's talking about, I'll go ahead and correct him.

Yes, your Immigration atty was wrong. Does that seem so far fetched to believe?

Common sense dictates that you can apply for AOS as soon as you have all the required documents, which in the case of a K-1, is the marriage certificate and supporting evidence for the I-864.

NOT WAIT 3 MONTHS!!!

You should really fill in your timeline if you expect anyone to take you seriously, and thank goodness, no one is.
