The decision to use your husband's family name is yours...whatever you decide to do, stick with it and make sure the correct name appears on all your future paperwork.

EAD = employment authorization document/work permit

If you file the EAD at the same time as AOS, the cost of filing the EAD will be waived. AOS takes an average of 4 months to be processed, the EAD will take less time...depending on when he can get his biometrics requirement completed (some members have received their EAD in less than 2 months).

When are you guys getting married? You may want to file AOS soon, the fees will go up by November 23rd.

Please stop typing in CAPITALS. It's considered yelling and is very rude.

What visa are you adjusting from?

Please update your timeline so others can benefit from your experience and your profile to reflect that you are now AOS (pending). The timeline function is up the top called "immigration timelines". To update your profile click on "settings" (up the top right of the page) then the "profile" tab, then "change profile information" (which should be the default one that opens). Then scroll down to Immigration status where it currently says nothing and change it to "AOS (pending)".

Ok first, stop with the capital letters it is giving me a headache.

EAD=employment authorization document, this is what you must have prior to receiving the green card to work legally;

when you file for AOS (adjustment of status) per the guides above you can also file for the EAD at no additional cost. When the EAD arrives, usually less than 90 days after filing, then your spouse can begin to work legally. If he has not already applied for a social security number do it now, or depending on how long he has been here, you can apply after you receive the EAD.

YOU CAN HAVE ANY LAST NAME YOU WANT, YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED BY US LAW TO HAVE YOUR HUSBAND'S NAME.

Actually it's well known that it's rude. Other people ignored it because it's obvious you don't speak english well so people tend to ignore it, just like they ignore misspellings and grammatical errors. Here's a link to prove it means yelling: http://www.google.com/search?q=what+does+typing+in+caps+mean%3F&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a and there are several threads where this is discussed in VJ itself. I didn't tell you to stop it in order for you to take offence, but you will find you will get many more replies to your posts when you don't type in CAPS. It's hard to read.

I didn't answer your post either. I am an organiser and you did not state what visa you were AOSing from and if you weren't adjusting from a K visa I would have to move this thread. I asked you what visa you were AOSing from so I didn't need to check all your old posts to find out. Seeing you didn't answer the qn I had to go to the effort of checking your old posts. For the record, the OP is adjusting from a K1 visa.

As the thread title is EAD I am moving this:

** moved from "Adjustment of Status (Green Card) from Family Based Visas" to " Working & Traveling During US Immigration" as the main purpose of this thread relates to EAD **

The caps is very annoying. Please be considerate of those you are asking advice from and turn them off, it makes everything so hard to read and I, along with many others, will imagine you yelling your entire post because it is considered yelling. No one likes to be yelled at and you will get more answers if you turn the caps lock off on your keyboard.

You've already been answered about your last name issue, but either you chose not to read it or didn't see it(perhaps because it isn't in caps?). But to echo what the other poster said, you can use any last name you want. Make sure it is the last name you intend to use because it will be on all of your documentation.

EAD is your work authorization. File it in conjunction with your I-485 and the fee for it will be waived. AOS fees have just gone up to $1070, so take that into consideration.
