Hi there. Congratulations on getting married.

Here is the guide from adjusting from K1 and K3 (they are together in one page, just pay attention to the requirements that only apply to K1 visa holders): http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1k3aos I suggest you read it muna and if you have specific questions about the forms or supporting documents, post them here

Published processing times for adjustment of status is 5 months on the average. EAD and AP are normally approved well before that; if you have proof of a job offer, you can request for it to be expedited anytime after you have biometrics taken; if you have a planned trip outside the U.S., they can expedite AP also (I believe on the I-131 form you have to tell them when the trip is).

Oh I am filing along with my son... he is my derivative so that is the payment of $ 600 is for. If you are filing alone without any K2's the paymetn is $ 1,010.00 before Nov 23, 2010. After that a new schedule of payment should be followed, check USCIS website for the updated fees after Nov 23, 2010.

Hi, everybody!

I have 3 short questions about AOS. Note: I entered the US legally on K-1 VISA!

1. Does my husband have to file i-130 for me now, if for my k-1 he filed i-129f and it was approved? I am already in the US.

2. Do I need to submit a CERTIFIED copy of my marriage certificate, or just a plain copy?

3. Do I need to submit a COPY or the ORIGINAL of my vaccination certificate?

Thank you so much!
