Why does it have to be so difficult?

[Jinhouzi 0]

People often ask me why I hired an attorney. Simple reason . . . . I don't have to sit behind the computer for hours on end looking up what form numbers are, what all these abbreviations mean and trying to figure out time lines of what hoop I need to jump through before waiting to jump through another hoop or what order.

I've asked a question and get about 5 different answers. Guess I am still trying to be a perfectionist and deathly afraid if I file one paper before I was to file another it could make the whole process much slower.

Sorry for the rant, but even looking at the flow chart, it conflicts it with itself.

Can you point out the info that conflicts itself? (for the flowchart)

Perhaps you are right and it can be fixed.

Looking at the chart, it mentions the I-765. I thought they need a green card to work or is this temporary. Item 22 does mention the green card but doesn't say when to apply for it.

I think I might also be jumping the gun. As you can see from my time line, I have such a long wait . . . sigh . . . .

The K-1 chart?

After you ger married, you will file for the AOS (Item 20), and at that time, you can apply for the EAD (I-765) (which allows you to work prior to the greencard), and the AP (I-131), (which allows you to travel prior to the greencard)

Did you look at the guides? They may help bring the info into focus for you?

You may find that it isn't the guides that are in error, but your understanding of the terms (they toss a lot at you )

Yes there is a lot there to take in. I know after awhile it will all make sense. Thanks.
