Just Married...What's the next thing to do Visa wise?

[redpixie 0]

We finally got married two days ago. We're still supposed to be on honeymoon but, due to Mr. Hurricane Ike, we were under manditory evaccuation (seens as we married and were honeymooning in Gavleston), so we had to come home yesterday. Nothing like having to do all the hurricane preps when you're supposed to be lazing on a beach and all .

Just wondering what the next steps are now we're married. I know we have to apply for the AoS and all that goes with it, so we can settle down here permenantly. Is there a specific time line to do this within, or can we wait for a few month in order to build up some more money? Do I need to do anything as my K-1 visa is up in a few days to prove we're married, or is that all irrelevant now?

Any advice would be great as I'm not sure if there's anything we need to legally do right off the bat.

Also, when should I send in my SSN details for the AoS with them? I got my SSN about a week after we got back here and they said I need to send my details back once we were married.

Thanks guys!

Fingers crossed, we can go back and finish our honeymoon properly in a couple of weeks time!

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR WEDDING AND BEST WISHES!!!

i'M HERE at Houston but we're not part of the evacuation..

check this link for your AOS: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=307

yOU can start your AOS as soon as you are okey so you can easily get your EAD and Green card. technically you need to file you AOS before the I-94 expire so you won't get out of status.

save your energy for your honeymoon ..lol

be safe!!

There's actually no penalty for such an out of status condition. I generally advise people to avoid more than a 180 day period of out of status but the penalty is more theoretical than actual.

Thank you both for the replies.

We're actually just North of Houston, so we're watching the news and waiting for the storm to hit right now. Figers crossed, all in the storm area will be safe and well.

Thanks for the advice and information. It's good to know that it's not such an urgent thing to get done, seens as we do have so many other expenses to cover at the moment from the wedding. We will be sure to get everything done and sent off within 180 days though. Additionally, I was worried because my birth certificate was taken when I entered the US, so I have to send back to the UK for another copy, and that can take upto a month to arrive.

Also, I notice the info on site said we needed to supply the NOA2 from the I-129F petition, which we didn't actually get sent to us in Ireland. I believe it was sent here, to my in-law's place. We need to dig it out. If we can't find it, is it okay to send the notification letter we had with pack 3 from the US Embassy, Dublin?

Thanks again and we'll be saving that energy, that's for sure!

I know this is off topic. But the timelines that you guys have at the end of your post, how do you get to that? Is it just a signature, or is there a form thing on here that you can fill out???
