Looking for link to Step-by-Step Guide for H1B visa holders

Dear Forum Members,

Is there a guide on the forum that details steps for green card application through marriage for those on H1B. The guide I found on the board is for K1/K3 visa holders.

Thanks very much.

I think it's this one http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...page=i130guide2

It's AOS when both spouses are in the US.

Hi,

I'm adjusting from H1B..so if you have an questions I'll try and answer them. Basically it's the same in as far as AP and EAD, but you also need an I-130 (petition) and a medical exam from a civil surgeon with your vaccination records included in the package.

Thank you very much Nich-nick and fuzzymiss.

Fuzzymiss, I will take you up on your offer:)

When can I start working using the new status after I apply? i.e. would I get something temporary that I could show to employers or do I need to wait to get final green card document in hand?

Thanks again.

basically you can work when you have an EAD card on hand... that can replace your H-1b status (if you have applied for EAD along with I-485)
