AOS - marriage certificate and other questions

[juni 0]

My and my fiance( now husband) just got married last week and we are going to file AOS soon. ( Entered US under K1 visa )

My questions are,

1. Do we really have to wait 4-6 weeks before mailing our AOS package since we need to get the original certificate from the county which will take 4-6 weeks ? I ( the foreign fiancee ) has already apply for SSN btw.

2. My husband didnt meet the 125% poverty but during the K1 visa interview he only have to meet the 100% guideline so we dont need the co-sposnsor at that time. As for AOS, We have already found a sponsor who met the 125% proverty ( one of our good friend ) . Should my husband fill in the I-864 too? ( which mean there will be 2 I-864 forms - my hubby and our co-sponsor? )

3. We are planning for a honeymoon ( 4 nights cruise ). One of the stop will be mexico for few hours I believe. Will I need an AP for that?

Thanx.

AP will take about 2 months to come through, so don't go on that cruise until you have the AP documents in hand. If you fail to heed this advice, the consequences could be dire for you, including likely deportation back to your home country and a need to re-file for a K-3. Setting aside the time that you and your husband will be apart, there is also the additional expense that this puts you to.

Regarding the marriage certificate, your county might have an expedited process. Maybe you could ask them.

Tread carefully with this honeymoon idea!!.
