Hi VJs

Is it okay to file my AOS without my social security number?

I am still waiting now for their mail.. I am worry because my k1 visa will be expired on 1st week of march.

Thank You..

If you don't have an SSN yet, just put "none" for SSN

Perfectly OK to not have SSN.

as for 'K-1 expiring' - sorry - it died a horrible death on the day you crossed through the POE into the USA.

There's a duration thing for the K-1 itself, which usually gives you 6 months in arive into the USA and

then there's the expiration date on the I-94 - which is usually 90 days.

Per the regs, you have 90 days to get married.

There is no reg or hardfast rule stating that you MUST file AOS within those same 90 days.

You have some time to file AOS, after marriage - is only 'rule of thumb' - usually 1 month to 6 months without close scrutiny, then 7 months to a year with 'some scrutiny', then 1 year to 2 years with 'close scrutiny'.

Relax. Relax some more. Don't go near any USA border town or crossing until you have either AP or EAD or GreenCard in hand.

Hey ! Since you successfully made it into the USA, and gotten married , and filed for AOS- this would be a great time (whilst yer waiting) to update yer timeline over at http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=73715 . Helps all those folks coming up behind you, you betcha !

Good Luck !
