AOS Pending...General Questions

[Krystle + Tiago 0]

My husband's AOS is pending...he is scheduled to go for biometrics on August 6th. Is there a fee for this?

When can he apply for a social security number? His K1 visa is now expired and we are awaiting approval for EAD and AOS???

Also...what is required to add him to my bank account, utility, etc???

When can he apply for health insurance???

Thanks!!!

fee was paid with the I-485

SSN eligible when EAD or GC is approved

never required to add to bank account... add when you are able (most likely with SSN)

depends on what you mean by health insurance... what kind and whose plan?

Just wondering how we are going to have evidence to take to the interview showing joint accounts. Seems like you have to have SSN to do any of that and we have to wait on EAD or GC. Wondering if anyone can share their experience or give advice.

Thanks!

EAD should come before GC interview. If that occurs then go get the SSN.

50/50 chance you will not even have a AOS interview

For health insurance, if you are trying to add him to your policy through work, most likely you have 30 days after marriage (or other life events) to add him to your contract or you can wait for open enrollment. An SSN is usually not required to add a spouse. Check with your employers HR department.

You will have to wait for the EAD (or GC) to get an SSN. You might not need an SSN to add your husband to bank accounts or utilities. Call or go to your bank and see if he can be added using his passport and other id. Call your utility providers too. Different banks have different policies, but for foreign nationals, SSN should not be required.

Many people filing AOS form a K-1 visa don't have an interview. After the biometrics, the file is sent on to the processing centre without a local office interview. Its 50/50 chance, but it seems like you actually have a better than 50% chance not to interview, based on my simple observations on VJ.
