Hello again everyone. Is it really necessary that the petitioner should file I-130 on my behalf before applying/to apply for AOS? Or is it okay to apply for AOS right away after marriage without filing I-130 at all?

Another thing is that if an advance parole can help me go back to the US anytime after I leave the US while AOS is pending? Does it has some certain days/months of validity?

I'm a lil bit confused and just need some clarification from 'experts' regarding these matter.

Some of you may think that I asked these too early for now but I just want to be proactive and always prepared for the future since I am going through this process. Your answers would be a great help. Thank you. :)

-Love

as long as you marry within the 90 days, no I-130 required

1. Is it really necessary that the petitioner should file I-130 on my behalf before applying/to apply for AOS?

2. Or is it okay to apply for AOS right away after marriage without filing I-130 at all?

3. Another thing is that if an advance parole can help me go back to the US anytime after I leave the US while AOS is pending?

4. Does it has some certain days/months of validity?

1. No. You arrive on a K1 and marry in 90 days then you're fine UNLESS you wait to file AOS more than 2 years after marriage then an I-130 would be good.

2. No I-130

3. Yes. Be aware though that you MAY have an interview and will either need to reschedule or be back in time for the interview. Depending on the period of time it could be quite expensive to buy a flight or change your flight short notice. Which is why it's best to wait if you can.

4. No. Once your GC is approved though you can't use it anymore. Well apparently you can use it to re-enter if your GC was approved while you were out but then that would be it.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”
