My wife and I are finally together in the US! We arrived over this last weekend after a long flight from Peru and are crazy happy to be together. After the months (years?!) of being apart we're taking a mental break from paperwork and such, but..... I'd like to get prepared for the next step. VisaJourney has been *invaluable* in helping prepare everything. I attribute the organization I was able to attain with the forums and example forms to our quick processing. I can't thank everyone here enough. Since our wedding and submitting the papers, everything went really quickly. So great! :thumbs:

Now... since we're together I realize the next steps include the AOS and EAD and Social Security number. I haven't seen a great reference on this site that provides the nice step-by-step process like exists for the K-3 Visa (130F/129F). Can someone direct me to the information on this site if it exists, or perhaps provide their own information?

Thanks again all, and keep smiling! If you're not together now, you will be soon. Just keep loving each other and it will all be worth it! :)

Hi mcarthey.

Just go to the Guides section of VJ. :)

The links to instructions for preparing the AOS, EAD and AP are on the upper right.

Lots of luck. :)

Congratulations!

I'm not sure if you've seen this information, and as I only started going through the process of the K1, I haven't looked MUCH past this phase yet... but it seems like a good place to start at least.
